Spotlight on the names Worlasi and Worlanyo as unique Ewe names

Tradition and believe are one of the common foundations for Ewe names but even as society picks up change, new integrations are embraced for a refined culture. Past were those times where there was a narrowed belief of the people in that the paramount belief one could come across is the traditional belief. 

However, society has tremendously evolved and this has given everyone the chance to hold fast to that which he deems good and fit. And in a country where diversity is welcomed without infringement on the 'Right to Worship' of anyone, the belief has a role to play in how newborn babies are named.

WORLA in Ewe language means 'creator' or in another instance, 'doer'. This word therefore, is a noun and can refer to any person at all in any instance depending on a specific circumstance or happening. 

However, naming a child as 'Worla' moves further from the literal meaning of the word and the subject many will think of. This then takes me to the focus name to be considered here; WORLASI.

It means that 'The Creator has heard'. The creator in this regard and from the point I take it from refers to God Almighty. Basically, the folks have a common belief in the only Supreme God as the Creator and for that matter regard Him also as the Giver of children. Worlasi', therefore acknowledges God as having heard the prayers of a couple when they needed one. For some it is an appreciation to the Creator. Having mentioned earlier the subject this name gives reverence to know that this name has its root in the Christian belief hence its popularity mostly among believers.

Meaning of Worlanyo

The meaning of 'Worlanyo' is that 'The Creator is good'. Also considered an appreciation to God for the gift of a child and even beyond this. History told of how in the olden days before civilization which brought about good medical systems how young and newly born babies are sometimes lost due to one health complication or the other. Anyone lucky to survive those moments as a mother definitely has a cause to be grateful to His Maker. Aside even this is the great joy of giving birth to healthy babies with every body part functioning properly. Situations of this sort and more necessitate the selection of these names to depict the authority behind the success and joy on the hearts of couples and their families.

The uniqueness of Ewe names comes in again in answering this question asked by a lot of people. These two names can be given to anyone and that means it is for both males and females. This is the uniqueness being talked about here, the meaning of the names, their impact, source of inspiration are just a few of the many factors that make it fit both genders.
