A Yoruba sentence-name from ayo ('joy') + mi ('my/mine') + de ('has arrived'), i.e. 'my joy has arrived.' Commonly given to girls, though used for either sex and often clipped to Ayo.
A Yoruba name best analysed as sinmi-si-ola, 'rest in(to) wealth/nobility' (sinmi 'rest, relax' + si 'into' + ola 'wealth, honour'). An alternative folk reading as 'worship wealth' is less supported. Often shortened to Simi.
Ayomide and Simisola are given to a similar number of US babies today.
Ayomide means My joy has arrived (yoruba origin), while Simisola means Rest in wealth (yoruba origin).
In US records, Ayomide first appears in 0 and Simisola in 0, so Ayomide has the longer recorded history.
