Adétòkunbọ̀ (Yoruba pronunciation: [ādétòkũ̄bɔ̀]) is both a surname and a given name of Yoruba origin meaning "the crown or royalty from across the seas" or "the crown or royalty from a foreign land". The name consists of two parts: Adé "crown", which is also found in other Yoruba names such as [[Adewale|], and Tòkunbọ from ti òkun bọ̀ "came (by) sea (and) arrived", which is often applied to children born outside of Africa.

Notes

^ Several individuals with the Adétòkunbọ̀ surname live in Greece. In Modern Greek, voiced stops such as [b] or [d] are commonly transcribed using digraphs, respectively μπ mp for [b] and ντ nt for [d]. As a result, the surname Adétòkunbọ̀ is commonly transcribed Αντετοκούνμπο in Greek, which is pronounced [adetoˈkumbo]. That Greek name is in turn transliterated, using Latin characters, as Antetokounmpo. This practice reflects literally the order of the Greek letters ‒ rather than reflecting the name's pronunciation in Yoruba or in Greek.
