Tiyamiyu
The name Tiyamiyu is a derivative from the Yoruba word "Ti iya mi loju" which implies my mother is the greatest or dearest.[citation needed]
Oral traditional authority has it that the name which is similar to Tiamiyu and of the same meaning was first adopted by a male—in Iperu, Ogun state of Nigeria—whom was a practitioner of the Yoruba religion, and upon conversion to Islam wanted a unique name but "funky."
The man, named Amusan, is the grandson of Bisuga (whose father was one of the earlier settlers with Akesan-Iperu), a chief of Iperu from the Amororo royal quarters in Iperu whom gave evidence during the quest for Remo independence from Ijebu-Ode.[1]
It was Amusan, the grand child who was married to Sefinatu— that adopted the name Tiyamiyu.,[2] as against the Muslim variant 'Tiamiyu'[3]
