Biography

Olú is a popular name amongst people of the Yoruba ethnic group. It is usually the first three letters of the full name. Olú is a diminutive of Olúwa in the Yoruba language and it can mean God, deity or lord, so the name 'Olúwale' could mean My God / Lord has come home. Since the name is applied to people, however, god in the sense of deity or lord is what is usually accepted, with the word even being used as a royal or noble title in certain parts of Nigeria, Benin and Togo.
