The meaning of my name
My Great Grand Mother named me Adepateh which I think is a Yoruba name. Could someone please tell me what that name means?

The prefix Ade- means "crown" in Yoruba, which is also found in names like Adebowale, Adegoke, and Adetokunbo. I can't find anything solid about the -pateh suffix though.
