Kweku-Antwi is Akan in Origin.
Kweku-Antwi blends an Akan day name with a prominent Ashanti surname. In Akan (Twi/Fante) tradition, Kweku/Kwaku names a male born on Wednesday, a system attested across southern Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire long before colonial recordkeeping and still vital in the diaspora. Antwi is a widespread Akan family name often used as a second given name to mark lineage; while its precise lexical root is debated, in oral histories it connotes strength and distinguished Ashanti heritage.
Meaning and variants: Kweku means “Wednesday-born,” with cultural associations of ingenuity and adaptability linked to Wukuada (Wednesday) and the Ananse lore. Common forms include Kwaku (Asante/Twi), Kweku (Fante), and the Ewe cognate Koku/Kɔku; nicknames may be Kwe or Kuuku. The compound may appear as Kweku Antwi or Kwaku Antwi. Related Antwi-based variants include Antwi-Agyei and Antwi-Boasiako, reflecting patronymic or clan ties.
