Olúwabísí
/oh-LOO-wah-BEE-see/
Does your family know it this way?
Meaning
God has brought forth one more
Olúwa (the Lord, God) + bí (to bear, to give birth) + sí (in addition, onto), so God has borne one more and increased the family. Given to a child whose birth is received as an addition to the household, and not to be confused with Olúwabùsí, where bù (to add, the bù of ìbùkún) carries the sense of God has added.
