Kwaku Akan Day Name T-Shirt — Born on a Wednesday
Kwaku Akan Day Name T-Shirt — Born on a Wednesday
In Akan tradition, every child carries a soul name based on the day they were born. If you were born on a Wednesday (Wukuada in Twi), you're Kwaku. It's the name boys and men born on a Wednesday share, while girls born that day are called Akua.
Wear it with pride, or give it to the Kwaku in your life: a parent, a grandparent, a new baby's proud dad or mom, or someone who just found out their day name and loves it. Not sure of yours? Check the day of the week you were born, then find your name in our Day Name collection.

The meaning
Akan children are named for the day they were born. Each day carries its own name for boys and girls, so your day name connects you to a tradition that goes back generations.
