- Ghanaian_name abstract "Ghanaian names are based on ethnic groups including Ga, Akan and Ewe names. Most of them base the given name (first names) they give to their newly born children on the day of the week on which the child has been born with the family name (surname). The Akan and Ewe people of Ghana frequently name their children after the day of the week they were born and the order in which they were born. These names have spread throughout Ghana and Jamaica. For example, in Ghana the following day names have been recorded: Monday, Kojo; Tuesday, Kwabena; Wednesday, Kweku; Thursday, Yaw; Friday, Kofi; Saturday, Kwame; Sunday, Kwesi. English translations of these names were used in the United States during the nineteenth century; Robinson Crusoe's Man Friday may be conceptually related.Most Ghanaians have at least one name from this system. Ghana's first president, Kwame Nkrumah, was so named for being born on a Saturday (Kwame) and being the ninth born (Nkrumah). Also, the seventh Secretary-General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan, was so named for being born on a Friday (Kofi).In the official orthography of the Akan language, versions of these names as spoken in Kumasi are as follows. The diacritics on á a̍ à represent high, mid, and low tone (tone does not need to be marked on every vowel), while the diacritic on a̩ is used for vowel harmony and can be ignored. (Diacritics are frequently dropped in any case.) Variants of the names are used in other languages, or may represent different transliteration schemes. The variants mostly consist of different affixes (in Akan, kwa- or ko- for men and a- plus -a or -wa for women). For example, Akan dwo is pronounced something like English Joe, but there do appear to be two sets of names for those born on Tuesday.".
