Spanning Ghana and Togo, the Ewe people boast naming customs tied to ancestral heritage and reverence for birth timing. First names may mark the day a child arrived or reflect core values like unity or faith. With melodic intonations, each name—such as Sena or Komla—carries cultural narratives celebrating both individuality and communal bonds. This practice honors the family’s lineage and the vibrant heritage of West Africa’s Ewe traditions.
