Eniola

Eniola is a Yoruba name primarily used in Nigeria and West African communities. For girls, it carries the beautiful meaning "person of wealth" or "person of great fortune," combining "eni" (person) and "ola" (wealth). The name symbolizes prosperity, abundance, and the wish for a child to bring or experience good fortune in life. While traditionally more common in Nigeria, Eniola has gained some international recognition as African names become more globally appreciated. The name has a melodic quality with its flowing vowels and soft consonants. Parents might choose Eniola not only for its meaningful heritage but also for its distinctive sound that remains relatively uncommon outside West African communities.

Eniola is also given to boys.

Pronounced eh-nee-OH-lah.
