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.

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.
