Ghanaian name

Ghanaian names are based on ethnic groups including Akan, Ga and Ewe names. The Akan and Ewe people of Ghana frequently give their children a "day name" which corresponds to the day of the week they were born. These day names have further meanings concerning the soul and character of the person. Middle names have considerably more variety and can refer to their birth order, twin status, or an ancestor's middle name. These names have spread throughout Ghana and Jamaica. During the 18th-19th Century, slaves from modern day Ghana in the the Caribbean were referred to as Coromantees. Many of the leaders of slave rebellions had "day names" including Cuffy or Kofi, Cudjoe or Kojo, and Quamina or Kwabena.
Most Ghanaians have at least one name from this system, even if they also have an English or Christian name. Notable figures with day names include Ghana's first president Kwame Nkrumah and former United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan.
