The Odusanya Family
Our little corner of the internet, for the grandparents, parents, aunties, uncles, cousins, little ones, and everyone who's basically family.
What's in a name?
What does Odusanya mean?
Like most Yoruba names, ours is a whole sentence squeezed into a single word. Here's how it breaks down:
- Odù
the oracle: Ifá's sacred verses of wisdom
- san
to pay back, to make good
- ìyà
suffering, hard times
“The oracle has repaid our suffering.”
In other words: whatever life throws at us, the good times always come back around, and this family comes back louder than ever.
Say it with us!
For the in-laws who are still practising. We love you.
Pronounced O-du-san-ya.
