OUR BABY'S NAME IS... | NIGERIAN NAMING CEREMONY

- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Name Hint " 👑" . This is not the "traditional Nigerian-Yoruba Naming Ceremony". In the Yoruba culture, the child is usually named on the 8th day of life (exactly a week after he/she was born)
Yorubas believe that given names are so profound, meaningful and powerful that the names children bear can influence their entire life cyle, from sundary behavior, integrity, professions, success and so on.
In Yoruba culture, tradition calls for children to receive names from their fathers. However, children often receive names from their mothers, their grandparents, or other close kin as well.
Many Yorubas have more than one given name. At birth, the mother and father each bestowes their choice of names on the child, as a beloved child. In addition, grandparents and even close relatives are entitled to give the child favourite names.
The Ceremony begins with a Prayer and the introduction of the family and the baby and the welcoming of the guests and well wishers.
Prayers and songs of praise to God to welcome the new addition to the family.
The presiding elder then preside over the event with 7 symbolic items that are traditionally used to express the hope or path of a successful life.
The elder then presides over the rest of the ceremony, which involves presenting the child with seven core symbolic items. Traditionally, the items are rubbed against the child’s lips, but the modern approach to this practice involves the mother tasting the items on behalf of the child. The core items -water, salt, honey and /or sugar, palm oil, kola nut, bitter kola, pepper, and dried fish - and their symbolic significance are described below:
Water: Water is everlasting and has no enemies, since everything in life needs water to survive.
Symbolic Significance: The child will never be thirsty in life and that no enemies will slow its growth.
Palm oil (epo): Used to prevent rust, to lubricate and to massage and soothe the body.
Symbolic Significance: Given for a smooth and easy life; and living a life in love and no friction.
Bitter Kola (Orogbo): Unlike most other kola nuts, bitter kola lasts a very long time.
Symbolic Significance: Given so that the child will have a very long life.
Kola nut (obi): Kola nut is chewed and then spat out.
Symbolic Significance: Given to repel the evil in life.
Honey (Oyin): Used as a sweetener in food.
Symbolic Significance: Given for a sweet and happy life.
Pepper (Ata): Pepper has many seeds within its fruit.
Symbolic Significance: Given for a fruitful life with lots of children.
Dried Fish (Ẹja): Fish lives in water, its natural environment, and uses its head to find its way in water, no matter how rough the water may be.
Symbolic Significance: Given so that the child will remain in its natural environment (the love of its parents) and will find its way in life and never be overcome, even in tough times.
Salt (iyọ): Used to add flavor to and preserve food.
Symbolic Significance: Given so that the child’s life will not be ordinary, but filled with flavor, happiness and substance, and so that the child will preserve all that is good.”
With each of the items administered the child’s names are then given starting with the grandparents and parents, and afterward by the community. All the names of the child are called out, and repeated by the community.
The ceremony concludes with food, dancing and celebration to honour this new life.

I'm a Nigerian Food and Lifestyle Blogger documenting bits of every other day in my life with my son, Tito and husband Bobo.
How many likes can Baby Tiara 👸 get guys ?. The best name ever , I can tell Tito is going to be a very good big brother #adisawashere
I really love when a baby has many names, speaking so many positive things into her life, blessed girl 😘😘
How many can be written on birth certificate Nigeria.? If all are not on birth certificate, they are not officially her name just aliases.
Imisioluwa is my daughter’s name and I had her a day after your daughter was born. Pray the lord bless her and protect her.
Congratulations @Tiselola 1!
