Meaning

the child born immediately after twins

Ìdòwú is an àmútọ̀runwá name (one a child is born with, fixed by the circumstance of birth) and is taken as a whole rather than built from transparent morphemes the way Táíwò is from tọ́ ayé wò. It is given at birth to the child who comes next after twins, third in the sequence behind Táíwò and Kẹ́hìndé.
