Kwas is Akan in Origin.
Kwas is a rare given name with two distinct strands of origin. In the Slavic sphere (Polish, Ukrainian, Belarusian), kwas means “sourness, acid” and also names the fermented drink kvass; it appears chiefly as a byname and surname. As a first name, Kwas surfaces only in modern records, often chosen for its brisk, one-syllable sound. Variant spellings arising from transliteration or adaptation include Kvas and, less often, Kvass.
In West Africa, Kwas can function as a clipped or stylized form of Akan day names such as Kwasi/Kwesi (male born on Sunday) and is sometimes linked to the Ewe form Kosi/Kossi. In this stream, the implied meaning ties to birth day and the qualities traditionally ascribed to Sunday-born children - leadership, energy, and assurance. Related names include Kwasi, Kwesi, and Kosi/Kossi.
