Origin of Iye, Meaning of Iye
Origin: the full pronounciation is "Jeki aye sinmi" meaning (let the world rest) a name they used to give to children when a mother gives birth and her child die repeatedly, usually for neglegence on the parents' part; but it was believed that it is thesame child who died that keeps coming so thay give such names as "Jaiyesimi" to mock them so they can stay. The name originated from Ijebu in Ogun state, Nigeria.
