Cofi is Akan in Origin.
Cofi is a modern spelling of the Akan day-name Kofi, from Twi/Fante in Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire, signifying “born on Friday.” In Akan tradition each weekday confers a given name; Kofi is the customary male Friday name and has been used for centuries within Ashanti and Fante communities, later traveling through the African diaspora. The C-initial form is a contemporary, Anglicized respelling that keeps the familiar KOH-fee pronunciation while giving the name a sleeker, distinctive look; it is sometimes chosen as unisex.
Related forms include Kofi, Koffi, and Kofie; feminine counterparts are Afua or Efua. Note that Welsh Cofi is a nickname for residents of Caernarfon and that Coffey is an unrelated Irish surname. Global recognition has grown via figures such as UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, lending Cofi/Kofi an international, pan-African resonance.
