Ajani

Ajani is a name of African origin, but its exact meaning and etymology are unclear. It is believed to have roots in various African languages and cultures, but there is no widely accepted or definitive meaning for this name.

Some sources suggest that Ajani may be derived from the Yoruba language of West Africa, where it could potentially mean 'he who struggles' or 'he who fights'. However, this meaning is not universally agreed upon.

In other African cultures, the name Ajani may be a variant spelling or pronunciation of names like Ajay, Ajaye, or Ajay-yo, which can have meanings related to concepts like 'born on a festival day', 'wealth', or 'fight'.

Despite the uncertain origins and meaning, Ajani has gained popularity as a unique and distinctly African name for boys in various parts of the world. Its melodic sound and exotic appeal have contributed to its rising use as a modern baby name.
