Oyotunji Naming Ceremony
Since the commencement of the African Restoration Movement during the 50s in the United States, African descendants in American have been going through both simple and elaborate ceremonies to receive an African name that reflects their destiny and lineage. Oyotunji specializes in providing those interested in knowing more about their ancestry with divination guided Naming Ceremonies.
What is in an African name?
African In America reclaim their ancestry, get new tribal names!
Many African ethnic groups including that of the Yoruba people of Southwest Nigeria are very particular and intentional when it comes to naming their young. Traditionally a child receives his name on the seventh day after birth.The child and his mother sit before the community, a priest or Babalawo and divine to pull a name from the heavens that reflects the destiny or lineage of the child.
Babaaláwo or Babalawo (Babalao or Babalaô in Latin America; literally meaning 'father of the mysteries' in the Yoruba language) is a spiritual title that denotes a Priest of Ifá. Its female counterpart is called Iyalawo (meaning 'mother of divination) or Iyanifa (Mother of Ifa).
