Adjoua

Adjoua is a female given name primarily used in Akan culture, particularly in Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. It is a day name, specifically given to girls born on a Tuesday. Akan culture ascribes significance to the day of the week on which a person is born, believing it influences their character and destiny. Each day has a corresponding name for males and females. Therefore, an "Adjoua" is readily identifiable as someone born on a Tuesday within that cultural context. The name is a cultural marker and contributes to the rich tradition of naming practices in Akan society.
