Oweda is an uncommon yet captivating given name of African origin, specifically from the Yoruba ethnic group of West Africa. It is a unisex name, meaning 'born in wealth', reflecting the hope and prosperity attached to its bearer since birth. This unique moniker adds a touch of exotic elegance to any name list, making it a distinctive choice for parents seeking something uncommon yet meaningful.
The name Oweda experienced a notable period of popularity around the 1920s, with consistent birth counts of five or seven each year from 1916 to 1927. However, it seems to have fallen out of favor thereafter, as there was a significant gap between births in 1938 and another peak in the late 1950s. Overall, Oweda has seen 44 recorded births since 1916.
