A name that means "the prayed-for one".

Nayieyo is from the Maasai Nayieyo — the prayed-for one, the one we asked for. Nayieyo is one of the Maasai feminine names — central to traditional Maasai pastoral + Indigenous Kenyan-Tanzanian heritage. The Maasai feminine nai- prefix is central to traditional Maasai oríkì-style naming alongside Naserian (the one who comes from the desert), Nayieyo (the prayed-for one), Nasieku (the bracelet), Naipanoi (the tall wise one).
