Oluwatobi

Meaning of Oluwatobi

Oluwatobi is a unisex name of Yoruba origin, pronounced oh-loo-wah-TOH-bee (/oʊ.lu.wa.to.bi/), and literally translates to “God is great.” It has appeared in U.S. Social Security data since the early 1990s, with annual registrations ranging from a high of 29 newborns (2002) to as few as 6 (most recently in 2024), corresponding to ranks between 761 and 937. This steady yet modest presence underscores its appeal to parents seeking a name that combines precise etymological roots with neutral gender usage. Although it does not contend with top-10 popularity, Oluwatobi occupies a reliable niche, reflecting a broader Anglo-American trend toward embracing global heritage without relinquishing phonetic accessibility.
