Ìtumọọ Coralí

Among cuban practitioners of yorùbá-based religious tradition, the belief is that it means "the most beautiful crown of Obatala." In Yorùbá language of Nigeria, the closest cognate would be "Kó̩lárìn." It means "walks with wealth/nobility." For an initiate of the deity O̩bàtálá, the unabridged name can be "Òòs̩ákó̩lárìn" meaning "Òòs̩àálá gathers and walks about with nobility/honor." This is the version in Yorùbáland.

The name Coralí is common name given to initiates of the deity Ọbàtálá within the Cuban Santería (Lucumí) religion. Its shift in pronunciation is reflective of a transition from a spoken language to a liturgical language remnant, apparent among Yorùbá-based spiritual groups of the diaspora.
