Help[Facts] Re: Jumoke
in reply to a message by ADT
It seems to be a female given name from Nigeria, in the language of the Yoruba. Various websites give a meaning of "the child is loved" or similar, including this one which seems to be Nigerian or at least managed by Nigerians:

Verifying this however is difficult. By playing around with this Yoruba dictionary here:

I saw that a word for "child" in Yoruba is "omo". Not too far away from the middle part of Jumoke, but what do I really know about Yoruba :)
