Bamidele is usually given to a child born outside the parents' home country. For example a child born abroad will be called BAMI a shortened form. As rightly said, it means ba mi de ile ( follow me home) and it is different from Bamitale which is usually given to an abiku for they die suddenly and leave the parent(s) in bereavement.
Bayolekan is correct about the meaning of the name. It is a name given to a child born outside of his/her parents' usual home/region, with the parents' intention of returning to their usual home/region after a while.
It means "come home with me," usually given to a child that is thought to be an "Abiku". That is a child that is considered to be the reincarnation of a previous child that died young.
