Duku is a gender-neutral name of Ghanaian roots. Matching Akan naming traditions, Duku, traditionally spelled Dúkũ, translates to “eleventh-born child.” If you live by the motto “the more the merrier,” this name can be a great choice if baby’s going to be welcomed by 10 older siblings. Duku may also translate to “handkerchief” or “headscarf” and can always remind baby that they’re cut from a different cloth.
