Sharing her joy with fans, Toke wrote:
“This is the happiest I’ve ever been. My precious daughter, the love I never knew existed, my heart in another human being, my love. My purpose, my reason, my evidence. Thank you for choosing me, thank you for making me a Mother.”
What Does the Name Yakira Eliana Mean?
The name is a beautiful blend of Hebrew and Latin roots:Yakira (יָקִירָה) – Hebrew for “Precious,” “Beloved,” or “Dear one”, derived from Yakir, meaning “valued.”
Eliana (אֵלִיעֲנָה / Ἐλιάνα) – In Hebrew, it means “God has answered.” In Latin, it carries the meaning “Daughter of the sun” or “Bright, shining one.”
Together, Yakira Eliana means: “Precious one, God has answered.”Yoruba Names Too
Beyond her Hebrew names, baby Yakira is also adorned with rich Yoruba names, including: Olakitan, Iyanuoluwa, Ikeoluwa, and Adunola.When Was She Born?

Just last week, she also shared the first clip from the celebration, captioned: “Blessed beyond measure and showered with love.”When Did Toke Announce Her Pregnancy?
Fans first learned of her pregnancy on August 13 via Instagram. In an emotional video, she said:“I’ve worn so many hats over the years, but this one trumps it all, and I’m so humbled to have been chosen. You guys have been with me from the start, the girl you met on radio, the brand you’ve supported all these years. This victory is major.”
What Life Awaits Yakira Eliana?
One thing is clear: Yakira is stepping into a life of luxury. Toke has already started a video series showcasing gifts she’s bought for her little one, including a Messika necklace, Chanel bags, Hermes shoes, and more.It’s safe to say Yakira Eliana is not just a “precious one,” but also a child set to shine brightly in every sense of the word.
