Meaning of Òjó

A male child who was born with his umbilical cord tied around his neck.

Extended Meaning

This is an àmútọ̀runwá (brought from heaven), a name already pre-determined due to the unique nature of their birth. The name Àìná carries the same meaning, though Àìná is mainly used for girls (however, among the Ìjẹ̀bú, Àìná is used for boys instead of Òjó)
