About Kwabena
The Akan people of Ghana and the Ivory Coast frequently name their children after the day of the week they were born and the order in which they were born. Most Ghanaians have a name using this system (think Kofi Annan, whose name means born on a Friday).
Kwabena is the name for boys born on a Tuesday. The association of Kwabena is the ocean, so this might also be considered a name meaning ocean.
Pronounced kwah-BAY-nah.
As of October 2026, Kwabena ranked #6018 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #3251 in 1990.
