Efia is a unique and captivating female name of Ghanaian origin, derived from the Akan language group's word for "Friday." This name holds significant cultural meaning among the Ashanti and Fante ethnic groups in Ghana. It was traditionally given to girls born on Fridays but has since evolved as an independent name choice, reflecting its timeless elegance and rich heritage.
"In the late 1970s, the name Efia was chosen for five babies born in 1975 and eight in 1977, with a smaller batch of six born in 1978. Altogether, nineteen children were named Efia during these years."
