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. Thus, one can understand that the name means "The warrior did not lose in the war camp." Another similar meaning can also be understood as "The warrior did not flee from war," as òtù can also be related as a war camp or where one gathers before going to war. See: Akínlọsótù, Akínkúòtù
