Here's a link to the pancocojams post that contains the complete xhapter on Yoruba names: http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2014/11/yoruba-names-and-their-meeanings-by.html That chapter is from Fela Sowande's 1966 book The Mind Of A Nation- The Yoruba Child (Ibadan: Ibadan University). Dr. Sowande (b. Abeokuta, Nigeria, May 1905; d. Ravenna, Ohio, United States, 13 March 1987) was a Nigerian musician, composer, and scholar. I believe that book is un-published. If it is published, it certainly is difficult to find. All copyrights remain with their owner. My thanks to Dr. Fela Sowande for his cultural legacy.
