Tunde is a unisex name, originally a diminutive form of a Yoruba name for a native of Nigeria which also means "returns". Hence, when Tunde is combined with other Yoruba words such as Baba (father) or Yeye/Iya/Mama (mother) to form Babatunde and Yetunde respectively, the meaning becomes 'father or mother has returned'. Similarly, Omo (son) or Ola (wealth) can be added to Tunde.
