Temidayo

Meaning of Temidayo

Temidayo is a vibrant unisex name from the Yoruba language that means “mine has become joy.” Pronounced teh-mee-DIE-oh (/tɛmiˈdaɪoʊ/), it dances off the tongue with the rhythm of a drumbeat. Though still rare in the U.S.—hovering around the 900s in yearly rankings with fewer than ten newborns—it’s being picked con alegría by parents who love its bright promise. Its meaning glows like dawn, sparking stories of hope and new beginnings. Blending West African roots with a dash of Latin sabor, Temidayo feels both grounded and celebratory. It doesn’t come with an instruction manual, but joy has never needed one.
