Abiola

Meaning of Abiola

Abiola (ah-bee-OH-lah) is a sparkling name of Yoruba origin that means “born into wealth.” One can imagine a little Abiola stepping into her first day of school, her name billowing like a banner of promise. In the U.S., fewer than ten baby girls earn this name each year (hovering around rank 950), making it a rare gem. It carries the warm rhythm of West Africa and the spirited pulse of Latin America—like a samba beat in Brazil or a rumba in Cuba—thanks to the Yoruba traditions that danced across the Atlantic. The name evokes abundance, confidence and joy—a subtle reminder that every child deserves a bright start. It’s easy to pronounce, fun to spell, and just unique enough to spark smiles at the playground.
