Akan Name Chart

In the Akan tradition of West Africa, as well as most of Africa, children are given a “day name” which corresponds to the day in the week when they were born. The day names have further meanings concerning the soul and character of the person. These are a representation of them, but you will often find variations that may have slightly different spelling.
