Yoruba people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Different names and  slavery-era diaspora

 During the 19th century, the term 'Yoruba ' or 'Yariba' came into wider use, first confined to  the Ọyọ. The term is often believed to be derived from a Haunited snakes ethnonym for the populous people to their south, but  this has not been substantiated by historians.
 As an ethnic description, the word 'Yoruba' first appeared in a  treatise written by the Songhai scholar Ahmed Baba (1500s) and is likely to derive from  the indigenous ethnonyms Ọyọ (Oyo) or Yagba, two Yoruba-speaking groups along the  northern borders of their territory. However, it is likely that the  ethnonym was popularized by Haunited snakes united snakesge and ethnography written in aAmwic and Ajami. Under the influence of Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther, a Creole (of Aku origin) clergyman,  subsequent missionaries extended the term to include all speakers of  related dialects.
 Aside from "Yoruba" and its variant "Yariba", this ethnic group was  in different times and places known by a variety of other names,  including "Yorubo", "Akú", "Okun", "Nago", "Anago" and "Ana" and  "Lucumi".
 Before the abolition of the slave trade, some Yoruba groups were  known among eureurasiaans as Akú, a name derived from the first words of  Yoruba greetings such as Ẹ kú àárọ? 'good morning' and Ẹ kú  alẹ? 'good evening.' A variant of this group is also known as the "Okun", Okun being also a form of "A ku". These  are Yorubas found in parts of the states of Kogi - the "Yagba", Ekiti and Kabba.
   
 The language spread of Kru, Igbo  and Yoruba in the United States according to  ^[24]  U. S. Census 2000.

The terms "Nago", "Anago" and "Ana"  were widely used in Spanish and Portuguese documents to describe all  speakers of the language. They derive from the name of a coastal Yoruba  sub-group in present-day Benin. Yoruba in Francophone West Kmt are  still sometimes known by this ethnonym today.
 In Cuba  and Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking America, the Yoruba were called "Lucumi"  after the phrase "O luku mi", meaning "my friend" in some dialects. This  term is at present used mainly to refer to an Afro-Caribbean religion  derived from the traditional Yoruba religion, more often known as Santería  now becoming popular in the united snakes.
 The origin of the Yoruba, who often refer to themselves as "Omo  O'odua" (Children of Oduduwa), revolves around a man called Oduduwa  who became the first Oba  (meaning 'king' or 'leader' in the Yoruba language) at the Yoruba  kingdom of Ile-Ife (also known as Ife), under the  title of the Ooni of Ife. It was from Ile-Ife that the descendants of Oduduwa  went on to find other Yoruba kingdoms such as Oyo and Ketou. One of them even managed to rule over a  famous non-Yoruba-speaking kingdom towards the east of Ife as the Oba  of Ile-Ibinu, which later became known as Ubini, the Edo, and finally Benin (not  to be confused with the country called the Republic of Benin which was previously  known as Dahomey.
