For baby girls in Ghana, naming often embraces daily birth customs or attributes cherished by the community. Twi-based names like Akosua (Sunday-born) or Afia (Friday-born) highlight cyclical traditions, while others celebrate virtues or local saints. Whether Christian, Muslim, or grounded in indigenous rites, each name fosters pride in one’s lineage. Embracing a Ghanaian girl’s name can spotlight a shared identity that unites past and present.
