Kweku-Adomako is Akan, Twi in Origin.

Kweku-Adomako blends a classic Akan day name with a prominent Ashanti surname. In Akan languages (Twi and Fante), Kweku/Kwaku designates a male born on Wednesday, part of the indigenous day-name system; the Fante-leaning spelling Kweku sits beside the Twi form Kwaku. Adomako is an Akan family name widely borne in Ashanti and related groups; many speakers connect it to Twi adom, meaning grace or favor, giving the compound a resonant sense of Wednesday-born, favored by grace.

Day names predate colonial contact and remain a living practice in Ghana and the diaspora, where hyphenated or double-barrelled forms mix given and family heritage. Thus Kweku-Adomako may appear as Kweku Adomako (unhyphenated) or Kwaku-Adomako; short forms like Kweku/Kwaku are common in everyday use. Related feminine pairing would substitute Akua for the day element. The name signals Akan identity, continuity with ancestral naming customs, and a blessing-inflected family lineage.
