Kweku-Amoako is Akan in Origin.
Kweku-Amoako is an Akan (Twi–Fante) compound given name from Ghana and its diaspora communities worldwide. It joins the day name Kweku - assigned to males born on Wednesday - with Amoako, a widely attested Akan lineage or praise-name that also functions as a surname. Among Ashanti and Fante speakers, such pairings have long linked birth circumstance with family identity; the hyphen is a contemporary stylistic choice in formal records.
Meaning and variants: Kweku signifies a Wednesday-born male (female counterpart Akua/Ekua). Amoako marks ancestry in the Amoako family branch; etymologies vary by dialect, and some readings connect the element ko “fight/strive,” evoking resolve and perseverance. Variants include Kwaku-Amoako (Twi), Kweku Amoako or Kwaku Amoako (unhyphenated), and the rarer Amoaku; diminutives include Kweku/Kwaku and Kuks.
