Coffie is Akan in Origin.
Coffie is a West African given name rooted in the Akan day‑naming tradition (Twi and Fante), shared across Ga and Ewe communities, signifying a boy “born on Friday.” It corresponds to the standard Akan form Kofi and the Francophone spelling Koffi; Coffie arose as an anglicized colonial and diaspora variant, now also seen as a Ghanaian and Caribbean surname. Pronounced like KOH‑fee, it carries the cultural attributes associated with Friday in Akan cosmology.
Records from the 18th–19th‑century Atlantic world frequently write the name as Coffy/Coffie or Cuffy for men of Akan heritage, while modern usage favors Kofi/Koffi (e.g., Kofi Annan). Related forms include Kofi, Koffi, Cofie, Coffy, Cuffy, and Kofie; the feminine counterpart for Friday‑born is Afua/Efua (Fante: Efua). Note that Coffie is distinct from the Irish surname Coffey (Ó Cobhthaigh), which has separate etymology and meaning.
