Meaning of Mofèyíṣaráminílúaláìlárá

I make this (child) my relative in a town where I have none.

Extended Meaning

Never having found anywhere else online or offline where this name is borne in the full form, we'd assume that it was made up, though the sentiment that it conveys is one very common among the Yorùbá: that of a parent in a new town or city with only a new child as company or comfort, perhaps because of the absence of the child's father, or any other equally alienating circumstance.
