Yemoja is the Yoruba mother goddess of the ocean and of motherhood — her name means mother of the fishes.
Vast and nurturing, she is one of the most beloved of all the orishas.
Yemoja does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Yemoja reduce to 6, The Nurturer. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
