Kwami is a boy's given name of Ghanaian origin. This beautiful name is a Fante variant of the Twi Kwame, meaning "born on Saturday." It stems from the Akan people, who live in Ghana and The Ivory Coast in West Africa. For centuries, the Akan people have named babies based on the day of the week that they were born. It is a rich tradition passed from one generation to the next. Other options for boys born on Saturdays include Kwamina and Ato, with the female equivalents being Ama.
