Akosua is a girl’s name of Ghanaian origin, meaning “born on a Sunday” in the Akan language. The Akan and Ewe people often name their children after the day of the week on which they were born. Each day is also symbolic of a certain character trait, so get ready, little one is bound to be quick and sporty.
