What is the meaning of the name Kojey ?

The baby name Kojey is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced KO-jay (IPA: /ˈkoʊdʒeɪ/).

Kojey is Akan in Origin.

Kojey is a contemporary Anglicized spin on the Akan male day-name Kojo, itself from Twi/Fante Kwadwo, traditionally given to boys born on Monday. In Akan naming customs, the day of birth confers identity and expected traits; Monday-born males are often linked with calmness and diplomacy. Kojey preserves this meaning while adopting an English-friendly spelling and pronunciation ("KO-jay") used in the Ghanaian diaspora.

Variants and cognates include Kojo (pan-Ghanaian), Kwadwo and Kwajo (Twi orthographies), Cudjoe (Fante/Anglicized, seen in Caribbean records), and Kodjo (Ewe/Togolese). The customary feminine counterpart is Adwoa for girls born on Monday. Usage has deep roots across Ashanti, Fante, and Akuapem communities, and spread widely through West African migration and Atlantic diaspora history; today, Kojey appears as a distinctive modern choice that nods to Akan heritage while fitting global naming styles.
