Meaning of Kwadwo

Kwadwo is a male given name of Akan origin from Ghana, traditionally assigned to boys born on Monday under the Akan day-naming system. Pronounced KWAH-dwoh (/ˈkwɑdwo/), it conveys leadership and calm determination and carries a rhythmic cadence that resonates with musical traditions across Latin cultures. Introduced to the United States by Ghanaian immigrants, Kwadwo has maintained a steady presence in Social Security records since the 1970s, ranging from its highest rank at 646th (five births in 1973) to 906th (twelve births in 2014), and most recently placed 913th in 2024 with eleven newborns.
