Welcome to my blog, where I’m excited to share my journey of discovery into the fascinating world of Ghanaian names. As a proud Ghanaian, I wanted to delve deeper into the meanings and traditions behind our beautiful names. Too often, I’d heard that Ghanaian names were merely bestowed in honour of someone, without any deeper significance. But I knew there was more to it.

When I had my son, I wanted to give him a name that not only reflected my heritage but also held profound meaning. This sparked a passion in me to learn more. Through extensive research, reading scholarly journals, and listening to historians, I’ve compiled a wealth of information that I’m eager to share.

I hope this blog will be a valuable resource for Ghanaians and non-Ghanaians alike, offering a glimpse into the rich history and stories behind our unique and beautiful names.
