Òtù is a name for any central area where one can meet. Thus, it comes with several meanings, òtù can refer to the walled central city of a town (like Òtù-Ifẹ̀), it can also refer to a meeting place or war camp. In this name, òtù is believed to refer to a central area that the kings and chiefs go to meet. The explanation of the name is that a warrior, after coming successfully from war, went to greet the king an chiefs at the "òtù." Around this time, his wife had given birth, so they named the child, Akínlọsótù, based on the fact that his father, the warrior, went to the òtù around the time of his birth.
