Àwọn àlàyé mìíràn

The name is given to a child believed to embody a specific history that is worthy of remembering. Perhaps a notable event occasioned his/her birth. In the case of Ọọ̀ni Ògúnwùsì, he was so-named because he was born at the exact time it was predicted that he would be born. The name is often, incorrectly, written as Ẹnitàn.
