With a name like Ayaba, your little one will move through the world with a willingness to inspire others, brighten rooms, and care for the Earth around them. This feminine moniker finds its roots in the West African language of Yoruba, so it's a lovely choice if you want your child to feel connected to their heritage. In Yoruba, the word ayaba means "queen," and this word later became a name. While sweet Ayaba may not carry an official title or sit upon a throne, they'll demonstrate their regality in other ways. Since Ayaba also translates to "color" or "leaf" in Japanese, it seems that your tiny tot will be the lead sketcher and painter of their own blossoming future.
