Meaning of "Temidayo"

"Temidayo" is a Nigerian name. Precisely, it is a name in the language of the YORUBA ETHNIC group (South-West region) of the Nigerian Nation.

Generally speaking and for your information, names in that particular region of the country (Nigeria) comes out of an event that surrounds parents of a new baby that is about to be named. Such event in question may be sad at times, but very often, baby names are revealed from pleasant situations.

This transpires that no matter how short/long these names may sound, they have a broader meaning in context (shortest meaningful name you could possibly get is a 3-syllable sounding name of 5 letters, any other found shorter than that must have been shortened to ease the stress of pronunciation. For example, the name "Temidayo" is often shortened to "Dayo", some may as well pronounce it as "Temi", whatever way they found it suitable.) So, if you have have a Nigerian friend from the Yoruba ethnic, whose name is as short as 3-4 letters (2 syllables), you may as well be interested in knowing his/her full name, full meaning.

Now, as we break it down, let's see what "Temidayo" actually mean:

*The last three letters in that name "AYO" means or translates to "JOY" in English language

*The 5th letter in that name "D" is not actually "D" but has already shortened. What that letter stands for in full is "DI," which in English translates to "BECOME" or "TURN TO".

*The 1st four letters "TEMI" simply translates to "MINE" in English.

So then, in pronouncing the words together, you have:

TEMI = MINE
DI = TURN TO
AYO = JOY

TEMID'AYO = MINE TURN TO JOY or MINE BECOME JOY

Although, that English word sounds at least meaningful, but not very smooth in speech. As I have earlier said, names here are situational in context and they are better translated when such situation is well considered.

Therefore, the meaning of "Temidayo" is: "Everything about me has turn to joy"

Than you.
