If you wish to thank your little one for entering your life, Asante is a lyrical choice that exudes gratitude. This gender-neutral title means “thank you” in Swahili and “warlike” in the Twi language of Ghana and is a form of the name Ashanti. Asante is the name for members of the Asante people of south-central Ghana from the Akan community. American singer and actress Ashanti Shequoiya Douglas rocks this variation of Asante and will make a glamorous role model for baby. The name of a powerful African empire, Asante inspires greatness and victory and is a wonderful way to honor baby’s ancestry.
