Echuyinka
Ìtumọọ Echuyinka
Among practitioners of the Lucumí faith (formerly known as Santería), the belief is that Eshu Yinka means "the one (Eshu) that watches the road." This name is derived from the yorùbá "Ès̩ùúyínká" meaning, literally, "Ès̩ù (the yorùbá messenger deity) surrounds me." This can mean that the person was born into a family with many other devotees of the Yorùbá deity known as Èsù. It can also be a kind of prayer that Èsù surround and protect the individual.
