Akosua

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. Sunday is an especially important day for the Asante people, who celebrate the Akwasidae Festival every sixth Sunday. If you’re of Ghanaian heritage, you may choose to honor this tradition by giving this name to your sweet Sunday baby.
