What is the meaning of the name Kweku-Agyemang ?

The baby name Kweku-Agyemang is a Male name and is pronounced IPA: /kwɛku ad͡ʒɛmɑŋ/ — respelling: KWEH-koo ah-JEH-mang.

Kweku-Agyemang is Akan in Origin.

Rooted in the Akan (Twi and Fante) naming system of Ghana, Kweku-Agyemang pairs the day name Kweku - given to males born on Wednesday - with the honorific Agyemang/Agyeman, from Twi gye “to save, redeem” + man “nation, state,” yielding “savior/redeemer of the nation.” Variants include Kwaku-Agyeman, Kweku Agyeman, Kwaku Agyemang; Fante tends to spell Kweku, while Ashanti/Akuapem favor Kwaku. The hyphen is optional and may signal a single compound given name.

In Akan society, day names have been in steady use for centuries and continue across Christian and Muslim families. Agyemang functions widely as a surname or praise-name, often appended to affirm lineage or hoped-for virtues. In the diaspora (UK, North America), the compound is adopted as a first name or middle-plus-surname set to foreground heritage, with non-hyphenated and anglicized spellings common.
