Ojedinle

Ojedinle is a surname of Yoruba origin, used by people in the southwestern region of Nigeria and by Yoruba communities in the diaspora. In Yoruba naming practice, surnames often reflect lineage, family history, or social ties, but the specific meaning of Ojedinle varies by family and is not universally documented in accessible sources. Spelling and pronunciation may differ in the diaspora due to transliteration and local linguistic influences.

The name appears in genealogical records, civil registries, and church or community archives, carried by individuals across urban and rural settings. As with many Yoruba names, bearers may trace family histories through oral traditions and local documents, which can yield distinct lineage narratives within families bearing the name Ojedinle.

Because Yoruba surnames are often passed patrilineally and can incorporate elements denoting ancestral connections, the use of Ojedinle can be found in various social contexts, including education, business, and public service among Yoruba communities and their descendants abroad.
