The name Tiyamiyu is a derivative from the Yoruba word "Ti iya mi loju" which implies my mother is the greatest or dearest.[citation needed] Oral traditional authority has it that the name which is similar to Tiamiyu but different in meaning was first adopted by a male—in Iperu, Ogun state of Nigeria—whom was a pagan and upon conversion to Islam wanted a unique name but "funky".
The man named Amusan is the grandson of Bisuga (whose father was one of the earlier settlers with Akesan-Iperu), a chief of Iperu from the Amororo royal quarters in Iperu whom gave evidence during the quest for Remo independence from .[1]
It was Amusan, the grand child who was married to Sefinatu— that adopted the name Tiyamiyu.,[2] as against the Muslim variant 'Tiamiyu'[3]
