Originating among the Akan people of Ghana, Ohemaa (oh-HEM-uh) means “queen” in Twi and brings a natural blend of strength, elegance, and caring leadership into everyday life. In the United States, it’s a rare jewel—19 little girls were named Ohemaa in 2024, ranking it 931st among newborn girls, a spot it’s held steadily since the early 2010s. Parents who choose Ohemaa often picture a child stepping into the world with the quiet confidence of a sunbeam breaking through morning mist—regal without a single peacock feather, yet playful enough to win a race to the swing set. Its warm, memorable rhythm nods to rich West African heritage while inspiring young hearts to reign over their own dreams. In every way, Ohemaa places a tiny crown on her future, a daily reminder that she was born to lead her story.
