'Abimbola' is from the Yoruba of Nigeria, West Africa. The real meaning of the name 'Abimbola' is 'Born with honor'. Ola (accent:re mi) in 'Abimbola' does not mean wealth it means honor. Ola (accent:re do) means wealth. The meaning is not in the word, but the accent. Thank you.
Abimbola Lagunju is the author of "Cyclone of Human Heart", "The Shadow of Rainbow", "The Children of Signatures", "The African in the Mirror" and the "Days of Illusions". He lives and works in Senegal.

The "bimbo" part doesn't attract me. Plus, the meaning is quite pompous.
