Check Out How Unique Your Name is in Other Languages..!!


In Hispanic language (Chile), my name, if I use it completely, is Hotib Rosih de/y Muhsin. And in Ghananian naming tradition my name is Kweku Piese since I am the first child in my family and I was born on Wednesday.

Likewise, in Russian language I will have a name as Hotib Rosihyevich Muhsin. It means that Hotib is my first name and Rosihyevich shows that I'm the son of Mr. Rosih. Quite unique isn't it..?

You know Kofi Annan, the former Secretary General of the United Nations? Since he is from Ghana his first name Kofi suggests he was born on Friday and Anan means he is the fourth child. Check out the list below for Ghanaian names.

In Hispanic tradition two surnames are usually connected by de or y. So if, for instance, your name is Ade and your dad's surename is firman while your mom's name is Gani. Your complete name in Hispanic language is Ade Firman de Gani or Ade Firman y Gani.

If you are a female whose name is, for example, Rani, your middle name is Rojak and your surname is Samsuri. Then your full name, in Russian naming tradition, will be Rani Rojakyavna Samsuri. Rojakyavna shows that you are the daughter of Mr. Rojak.

So guys..why don't you try to create your alias name in different languages..? There is nothing wrong I think if it is only for fun. Below are some info on Ghanaian naming tradition that you can use to create your 'new name'.

Happy trying and have FUN

I can imagine there may be lots of similar names in Ghana.

The only problem I think Indonesian citizen is that in fact that many Indonesian families have more than seven children (ten for example). Then we should check with our Ghanaian friends how to name the eight, ninth and tenth child :-)

Cheers!
