Quashi

Quashi is a name originating from the Akan people of Ghana, West Africa. It is a traditional 'day-name' given to males born on a Sunday. The Akan culture has a system of naming children based on the day of the week they are born, as well as the order of their birth. These names are deeply rooted in their spiritual beliefs and social structure.

The practice of giving day-names is ancient among the Akan and continues to be prevalent today. These names often carry specific connotations and are believed to influence the child's personality or destiny. Quashi, like other Akan day-names, is not just a label but a cultural identifier.
