Morayo

Meaning of Morayo

Rooted in the rich tapestry of Yoruba culture, Morayo is a melodious name that translates to “I see joy,” each syllable ringing with the promise of a life lived in allegria. Pronounced moh-RYE-yo (/moːˈraɪ.jo/), it unfolds on the tongue like a sunlit fresco, inviting parents to picture a little girl brimming with laughter. In the United States, Morayo has begun to weave its cheerful melody into birth announcements—ranking 937th in 2024 with 13 newborn bearers and maintaining a gentle presence in the top 1000 for over a decade. Like a soft breeze drifting through Tuscan olive groves or a perfectly pulled espresso that leaves a lingering warmth, this name carries tradition, optimism, and the lighthearted charm of a spirited soul.
