Oladunni (Yoruba: Ọládùnní, pronounced [ɔ̄ládũ̀ní] ⓘ) is a Yoruba given name of Nigerian origin. The name is derived from the Yoruba words ọlá meaning 'wealth', 'honour', or 'nobility', and dùn ní meaning 'sweet to have' or 'pleasant'. The name thus means 'wealth is sweet to have' or 'honour is pleasant'. It is mainly used among the Yoruba people of southwestern Nigeria.[1][2]
