Koffi is Akan in Origin.
Koffi is a West African given name of Akan origin, meaning “born on Friday.” In Twi and Fante, the standard form is Kofi; the double‑f spelling Koffi reflects Francophone orthography and is especially common in Côte d’Ivoire (notably among Baoulé, an Akan subgroup), as well as in Togo and Benin. The name belongs to the Akan day‑name system, in which children receive names tied to the weekday of birth - a practice dating back to precolonial times and still widely observed. It functions as both a given name and a surname across the region and the diaspora.
Variants and related forms include Kofi (Anglophone spelling), Coffi (less common), and the Fante diminutive Fiifi. The feminine counterpart is Afua/Efua (“Friday-born”). International recognition grew through figures like UN Secretary‑General Kofi Annan and Congolese musician Koffi Olomidé, which has helped the name travel beyond West Africa while retaining its cultural meaning.
