Proper name [Yoruba]

IPA: /ɔ̄.bà.lù.fɔ̃̀/, /ɔ̄.bā.lù.fɔ̃̀/ Forms: Ọbàlùfọ̀n [canonical], Ọbalùfọ̀n [canonical]
Etymology: Perhaps from ọba (“father, king”) + ni (“to be”) + ù- (“nominalizing prefix”) + fọ̀n (“to set out for a place”), literally “The King is the one who sets out for new territories” or ọba (“father, king”) + ni (“to be”) + ị̀- (“nominalizing prefix”) + fọ̀n (“to set out for a place”). The term fọ̀n relates to setting out and establishing a town, which is commonly attributed to Ọbàlùfọ̀n's reign in Ifẹ̀ and military conquests in Èkìtì and Ìgbómìnà regions. In addition, fọ̀n is a term specific to Central Yoruba dialect. The use of ọba as a prefix in the titles of kings and chiefs is very common in ancient Ifẹ̀, see Ọbàtálá, Ọbalúfẹ̀, Ọbamakin, Ọbadìo, etc Often confused with the deity Olúfọ́n, who is associated with Ọbàtálá Etymology templates: {{compound|yo|ọba|ni|ù-|fọ̀n|id3=nominalizing prefix|lit=The King is the one who sets out for new territories|t1=father, king|t2=to be|t3=nominalizing prefix|t4=to set out for a place}} ọba (“father, king”) + ni (“to be”) + ù- (“nominalizing prefix”) + fọ̀n (“to set out for a place”), literally “The King is the one who sets out for new territories”, {{compound|yo|ọba|ni|ị̀-|fọ̀n|id3=nominalizing prefix|t1=father, king|t2=to be|t3=nominalizing prefix|t4=to set out for a place}} ọba (“father, king”) + ni (“to be”) + ị̀- (“nominalizing prefix”) + fọ̀n (“to set out for a place”), {{l|yo|fọ̀n}} fọ̀n, {{l|yo|Ọbàtálá}} Ọbàtálá, {{l|yo|Ọbalúfẹ̀}} Ọbalúfẹ̀, {{l|yo|Ọbamakin}} Ọbamakin, {{l|yo|Ọbadìo}} Ọbadìo, {{l|yo|Olúfọ́n}} Olúfọ́n, {{l|yo|Ọbàtálá}} Ọbàtálá Head templates: {{head|yo|proper noun|head=Ọbàlùfọ̀n|head2=}} Ọbàlùfọ̀n, {{yo-pos|proper noun|Ọbàlùfọ̀n}} Ọbàlùfọ̀n, {{yo-prop|Ọbàlùfọ̀n}} Ọbàlùfọ̀n, {{head|yo|proper noun|head=Ọbalùfọ̀n|head2=}} Ọbalùfọ̀n, {{yo-pos|proper noun|Ọbalùfọ̀n}} Ọbalùfọ̀n, {{yo-prop|Ọbalùfọ̀n}} Ọbalùfọ̀n

  "etymology_text": "Perhaps from ọba (“father, king”) + ni (“to be”) + ù- (“nominalizing prefix”) + fọ̀n (“to set out for a place”), literally “The King is the one who sets out for new territories” or ọba (“father, king”) + ni (“to be”) + ị̀- (“nominalizing prefix”) + fọ̀n (“to set out for a place”). The term fọ̀n relates to setting out and establishing a town, which is commonly attributed to Ọbàlùfọ̀n's reign in Ifẹ̀ and military conquests in Èkìtì and Ìgbómìnà regions. In addition, fọ̀n is a term specific to Central Yoruba dialect. The use of ọba as a prefix in the titles of kings and chiefs is very common in ancient Ifẹ̀, see Ọbàtálá, Ọbalúfẹ̀, Ọbamakin, Ọbadìo, etc\nOften confused with the deity Olúfọ́n, who is associated with Ọbàtálá",
