Most Ghanaians bear names indicating the day of the week they were born, which is the first automatic name a child gets immediately after birth before a proper naming ceremony is done for the child. This is a practice that is common among the Akans, who believe this is the name the person\u2019s soul offers him or her and so refer to it as \u2018Kradin\u2019 (soul\u2019s name) as well as most ethnic groups in Ghana. It is believed that a child born on a certain day will exhibits traits and characters that is associated with that day.<\/p>\n
For instance, a female child born on Sunday will be called Akosua and be expected to show certain characteristics like being patient and helpful.<\/p>\n
