Àwọn àlàyé mìíràn

"'Ọ̀pá' here is a symbol of a deity 'òrìsà oko', I think. In fact any Yorùbá name in which Ọpá features points at the family of the bearers as devotees of that deity." - Peter Akinlabí The name can also be interpreted as "the policeman has arrived", since ọlọ́pàá is a recent Yorùbá word for "policeman" who, in the early days of colonialism were noted for carrying batons. The baton, as the symbol of authority, can also let the name be interpreted as "the one with the authority" has come.
