For every name that exists in the Yoruba race has an attached meaning. 

It does not only has a meaning, but it also relates to the family lineage history or perhaps, the religion of which is practiced by such family. For every Irunmole, there are names attached to each of them. 

They stand as prefixes to these names. Ogun for example stands as a prefix to the name Biyi. When matched together it becomes Ogunbiyi which means "Ogun gives birth to this" or "Ogun's child".



However, this write- up suggests ten names suitable for your child if you are an Esu devotee. See below.

1) Esu-biyi: Esu brought forth this child,  this is Esu' s child, This is a blessing from  Esu.  It's a masculine name and its variation is "Biyi"
