Yoruba
Etymology
Possibly from aéré (“farmhouse, hut”) + gbé. Compare with Ondo Yoruba Aghéégbé, Ọwọ, Idanre Yoruba Aghérégbé. Multiple independent oral histories assert that the festival was exported from the kingdom of Ọ̀bà-Ilé. This perhaps suggests that this festival is a remnant of Ọ̀bà-Ilé cultural influence on its neighbors, before the establishment of kingdoms like Àkúrẹ́, Adó, Ìdànrè, and Oǹdó, as well as Benin influence, which reduced its influence.
Pronunciation
