[Facts] Fisayo
I came across a girl named Fisayo in my local newspaper. Any idea as to what it means?

The following website about Nigerian names says that Fisayo is a name from the Yoruba language used for both sexes, but gives no other information:http://www.onlinenigeria.com/nigeriannames/Default.asp?search=y&page=48

If it's Yoruba, the Ayo element probably means Joy, an assumption based on these entries:

Fisayo is a short form of the yoruba name Oluwafisayo that means "God has put me in joy" or "God has put me in a situation of joy" or "God has added joy to me". oluwa - God
Fisi - put me in
Ayo - Joy
