Meaning: Born on Thursday

Yaayaa is a girl’s name of Ghanaian origin. Meaning “born on Thursday,” this moniker reflects a time-honored tradition—that of naming children after the day of the week they were born. Since day names are derived from Akan deities, it’s believed that the day a little one is born determines their destiny. If baby has chosen Thursday to make their debut, choose Yaayaa to mark such an occasion and let them know that strength is their birthright and they have everything they need to win at life.
