The will or desire of God
A literal English compound name expressing the idea that the child is a result of divine intent or is dedicated to following a divine path. It is particularly common in West African countries, such as Nigeria, where English virtue names are frequently used to express religious devotion. Unlike historical Puritan names, this modern usage is celebratory and serves as a constant prayer or testimony.
