Детей в Гане называют по дням недели, в зависимости от того, в какой день они родились: понедельничным дают имя Куджо (что и значит понедельник), вторничных Куббена (вторник) и т.д.

Ghanaian names are based on ethnic Akan names. Most of them base the given name (first names) they give to their newly born children on the day of the week on which the child has been born with the family name (surname). The Akan people of Ghana frequently name their children after the day of the week they were born and the order in which they were born. These names have spread throughout Ghana and Jamaica. For example, in Jamaica the following day names have been recorded: Monday, Cudjoe; Tuesday, Cubbenah; Wednesday, Quaco; Thursday, Quao; Friday, Cuffee; Saturday, Quamin; Sunday, Quashee. English translations of these names were used in the United States during the nineteenth century; Robinson Crusoe's Man Friday may be conceptually related.
Most Ghanaians have at least one name from this system. Ghana's first president, Kwame Nkrumah, was so named for being born on a Saturday (Kwame) and being the ninth born (Nkrumah). Also, the seventh Secretary-General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan, was so named for being born on a Friday (Kofi).
