Ghana's Children Naming Culture

About Akan age calculator

Ghanaian names (or personal names in Ghana) consist of several given names and surnames based on the language of ethnic groups in Ghana. Frequently,children are given a "day name" which corresponds to the day in the week when they were born. These day names have further meanings concerning the soul and character of the person. Most Ghanaians have at least one name from this system, even if they also have an Arabic or western name. By the use of an Akan age calculator, let us learn what your name would have been if you happened to be of Ghanian origin.
