Boahinmaa

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Ghanaian

Meaning: One who has left her community

Boahinmaa is a feminine name that’s a variant of the Ghanaian name Boahemaa. Typically used as a last name, it comes from Boahen, and can translate to “the one who has left her community.” While this may appear to have a sad meaning, this can also be a symbol of baby building independence and finding their own path. One person of note is Olympic sprinter Jeanette Boahemaa Kwakye, who’s now a broadcaster and author. For a name that encourages baby to sprint to their destiny and bright future, Boahinmaa can make for a great choice.
