Your name's story

Afua

Say it: AH-foo-ah

Born on a Friday

What it says about you

The spirit of Friday

Loved widely, easy company. The day of warmth.

Among the Akan people of Ghana, a child's first name was never chosen. It was already waiting, set by the day of the week they arrived. Every Friday-born girl carries the name Afua, and the spirit of that day comes with it.

Families still call each other by these names today. Say Afua in Ghana and people will know which day you were born.

Your day in the week

Every day has two names

Each day has one name for girls and one for boys. Friday's are Afua and Kofi.
