ADIGUN! ADIOO! ADISA! PEOPLE REPLACING THE DEAD
Adioo /ah:dee:oe/ the replacement for the pit
Adisa /ah:dee:sah/ the replacement for the grave
The people who bears the above names are either born some months or a year after the demise of a family member.
The late family could be an adult or a child, male or female. However, the newly born child is considered to be the replacement.
If the new born child is replacing an adult, the name mostly consider is : Adisa.
The reason is : Adisa is a replacement to the person in the grave.
In Yoruba land, children don't have grave. Therefore, if the new born child is replacing a child, the name to be considered is : Adigun or Adioo. Adioo is a replacement of the person in the pit, usually, a child.
Adigun on the other hand does not indicate if the replacement is for the grave or the pit. This neutrality makes it a replacement for a child.
In conclusion, Adisa is considered to be an eminent person, because, he is replacing or representing a celebrated adult.
