Gidado (anglicised from Giɗaaɗo) is a Fulfulde name, common among the Eastern Fulbe in Cameroon, Niger, and Nigeria. It means “beloved,” derived from the root yiɗi, which means “to love,” and the suffix -ɗo which signifies the human agent of an action.[1]
Notable people with the name include:
- Gidado dan Laima (1817–1842), first known Waziri of the Sokoto Caliphate, now in Nigeria
- Gidado Idris (1935–2017), Nigerian civil servant
