Day-soul (Kra)
Glossary · Last updated: 2026-07-26
In Akan folk naming, the day of the week you were born links to a day-soul (kra) with a traditional name. Kwasi for Sunday-born males, Akosua for Sunday-born females, and so on.
Our Akan card uses the weekday of your Gregorian birth date. Midnight-edge births may differ in family custom.
Cultural respect
Day names carry living cultural weight in Ghana and the diaspora. Treat our labels as educational snapshots, not official naming or spiritual counsel.
