Kweku-Mensah as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Kweku-Mensah

What is the meaning of the name Kweku-Mensah ?

The baby name Kweku-Mensah is a Male name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced KWEH-koo MEN-sah (IPA: /ˈkwɛku ˈmɛn sɑ/).

Kweku-Mensah is Akan in Origin.

Kweku-Mensah combines two Akan elements from Ghana. Kweku is the Fante/Twi day name for a male born on Wednesday; Mensah (from Twi Mɛnsá) designates the third-born child. Together, the compound signals both weekday birth and birth order, a traditional way of situating a person within family and cosmic time in Akan culture.

Used since precolonial times, these names remain common in Ghana and the diaspora, where hyphenation is a modern stylistic choice to preserve both markers as a single given name. Variants include Kweku Mensah (unhyphenated), Kwaku(-)Mensah in Ashanti/Twi spelling, and the cognate Wednesday name Koku in Ewe. Mensah also functions widely as a family name across Akan and Ga communities; the older spelling Mensa appears in some records. Related female forms are Akua (Wednesday-born woman) and Mansa (third-born girl).
