Adétòkunbọ̀ Listenⓘ (Yoruba pronunciation: [ādétòkũ̄bɔ̀]) is both a surname and a given name of Yoruba origin meaning "the crown or royalty from across the seas" or "the crown or royalty from a foreign land". The name consists of two parts: Adé "crown", which is also found in other Yoruba names such as Adéwálẹ̀, and Tòkunbọ from ti òkun bọ̀ "came (by) sea (and) arrived", which is often applied to children born outside of Africa.

Notes

  1. ^ The following individuals with the Adétòkunbọ̀ surname live in Greece. In Modern Greek, voiced stops such as /b/ or /d/ are commonly transcribed using digraphs, respectively ‹μπ› (mp) for /b/ and ‹ντ› (nt) for /d/. As a result, the surname Adétòkunbọ̀ is commonly transcribed Αντετοκούνμπο in Greek, which is pronounced [a(n)detoˈkumbo] and in turn romanized as Antetokounmpo. This practice reflects literally the order of the Greek letters (transliteration) rather than reflecting the name's pronunciation in Yoruba or in Greek (phonetic or orthographic transcription).
