Ayo

Ayo is a gender-neutral name of Nigerian origin, meaning "joy." This sweet-sounding title just rolls off the tongue, making you smile whenever you call baby's name! It comes from the word ayọ̀, spoken by the people of Yoruba in southwestern Nigeria. The people of Yoruba are known to be skilled farmers who grow yams, corn, plantains, beans, and cocoa crops. Your darling Ayo might, too, grow up to tend to the fields and nurture our beautiful planet.
