Kojoh is Akan in Origin.
Kojoh is a West African given name from the Akan languages of Ghana, designating a male born on Monday. It corresponds to Twi/Fante Kwadwo, whose root dwo means “calm” or “peace,” giving the name connotations of composure. Kojoh is a modern Anglicized spelling of Kojo, likely adding -h to guide the final vowel. The customary female counterpart is Adwoa, “Monday-born (female).”
Akan day names are a long-standing system across Asante, Fante, and related communities, and the name traveled through the Atlantic world; colonial records often show the form Cudjoe, notably borne by the Jamaican Maroon leader Cudjoe. Cognates and regional spellings include Kojo (standard modern), Kwadwo (Twi orthography), Kodjo/Kodzo (Ewe), and Quajo/Quojo (older Fante/colonial). The name remains common in Ghana and its diaspora, with bearers such as broadcaster Kojo Nnamdi; Jojo is a familiar nickname. Meaning: “Monday-born (male); calm, peaceful.”
Kojoh barely registers. There are only 7 recorded uses on record, spread over 2 countries.
