This is not a dictionary of Yoruba names, If, therefore, you turn the pages eagerly to find your own name or the names of your friends and relations and they are not here, you should not be disappointed: it is a dictionary of Yoruba names which should list all the items.
The subject of this book is the structure of Yoruba names. The idea of such a book came into my mind in the course of teaching the Yoruba language to adult non-native speakers for the Department of ExtraMural Studies of the University of Ibadan and the U.S. Peace Corps. I found a distinct handicap in that the students invariably returned from the class sessions to live and work in non-Yoruba speaking environments. They therefore lacked opportunity for practice in real life situations, which is the one thing that might have helped them perfect what they had learnt in class and remember them.
