Shola

Shola is a short, sweet girl’s name native to Yoruba. Its official definitions have yet to be discovered, but if you know its sister name, Sola—found in Olusola, meaning “God makes wealth”—you’ll know of its prosperous connotations. Shola is also very present in the UK, lending its renown to namesakes like singer Shola Ama and British-Nigerian activist Shola Mos-Shogbamimu.
