Originating from the Akan people of Ghana, the name Quartey is a unique and distinctive choice for a baby boy. The name carries a strong cultural significance as it means "born on Saturday" in Akan. Pronounced as kwor-TAY (/kwɔrˈteɪ/), Quartey has a melodic quality that rolls off the tongue. While not extremely common, Quartey has been used in the United States since at least 1999, with five occurrences that year. Although it may not be widely known or popular, choosing Quartey for your little one will give him a special and meaningful name with roots in Ghanaian culture.
