Hello friends. This is a web application that takes a user's birthday and calculates the day of the week that they were born and then depending on their gender, outputs their Akan Name. Akan names are derived from Ghanian culture. In Ghana, children are given their first name as a 'day name' which corresponds to the day in the week they were born. Here are some Ghanian day names: Male; Sunday: Kwasi, Monday: Kwadwo, Tuesday: Kwabena, Wednesday: Kwaku, Thursday: Yaw, Friday: Kofi, Saturday: Kwame. Female; Sunday: Akosua, Monday: Adwoa, Tuesday: Abenaa, Wednesday: Akua, Thursday: Yaa, Friday: Afua, Saturday: Ama. Most people do know when their birthdays are, but some might not know what day of the week they were born. Welcome to this page as we calculate the day of the week you were born from a specific date. Please sign up to get access to your Ghanian name.
