Meaning of Àgùdà

The name has been used to refer to the Afro-Brazilian returnees to Lagos in the late 19th Century who headed the Roman-Catholic churches (even though most of them retained their Òrìṣà-worshipping backgrounds). The name first came into use in Lagos around 1835 when the first wave of returnees came into town.
