Explanation
In Yoruba culture, twins are given special names. The first twin to be born is called Táíwò (from “tọ́ ayé wò”, taste the world). The second is called Kéhìndé (the one who came after).
Àlàbá, Ìdògbé and Idowú are names for children born after twins or in other special positions. They are not twin names.
