Lagunemisi

Lagunemisi is a Yoruba given name used among the Yoruba people of Nigeria and in Yoruba-speaking communities abroad. Like many Yoruba personal names, Lagunemisi is often formed from elements that carry aspirational or situational meanings.

Etymology and meanings: Yoruba names commonly combine morphemes referring to family, circumstances of birth, or divine blessing. The precise segmentation of Lagunemisi varies by family, but it is commonly thought to involve elements that convey companionship or shared blessing and an aspect of increase or addition. Because Yoruba naming conventions are traditionally clan- and family-based, there is no universally fixed interpretation of the name.

Usage and distribution: The name is used in Nigeria and among Yoruba-speaking diasporas, including communities in the United States, United Kingdom, and other countries with Nigerian immigrants. It appears primarily as a given name; surname usage is less common.

Notable bearers: There are no widely documented public figures with the exact spelling Lagunemisi in major English-language sources.
