Kweku-Boateng is Akan in Origin.
Kweku-Boateng is an Akan (Ghanaian) compound given name combining the day-name Kweku with the lineage surname Boateng. Kweku - spelled Kwaku in Asante-Twi and Kweku in Fante - designates a male born on Wednesday in the Akan day-naming system and carries cultural associations with agility and cunning, echoed in the folklore figure Kwaku Ananse.
Boateng is a widely attested Akan surname from Twi, linked to Ashanti and related clans; its exact derivation varies by dialect and family history, but it is often glossed as helper or strong, steadfast. In Ghana and the diaspora, the elements frequently appear as the full name Kweku Boateng; the hyphenated form functions as a single given name to foreground heritage. Variants include Kwaku-Boateng and unhyphenated Kweku Boateng; short forms such as Kwaku or Kweku are common everyday call-names.
