In Ghana, a mosaic of over 100 ethnic groups shapes vibrant naming traditions. Many families follow day-name customs (Akan), reflect Christian or Islamic faiths, or incorporate ancestral references. From Kwame (“born on Saturday”) to Abena (“Tuesday-born girl”), each choice underscores kinship and spirituality. With Ewe, Ga, and Fante influences, Ghanaian baby names offer a joyful celebration of cultural unity and a bond that transcends generations.
