Tetteh

Tetteh is a traditional male given name originating from the Akan people of Ghana, West Africa. It is specifically used within the Ga-Adangbe ethnic group, a sub-group of the Akan. The name is part of a naming convention where children are named based on the circumstances of their birth, such as the day of the week, birth order, or if they are twins. Tetteh specifically denotes the first-born male twin.

This naming practice is deeply embedded in the cultural and social fabric of the Ga-Adangbe people, reflecting their worldview and the importance placed on birth order and family structure. Names like Tetteh carry significant cultural weight and are not merely identifiers but also convey information about the individual's position within their family and community.
