Nkrumah is a name of African origin, specifically from the Akan language spoken in Ghana. The name means "ninth born child" and is derived from the Akan tradition of naming children based on the day of the week they were born. The name is most commonly associated with Kwame Nkrumah, the first president of Ghana and a prominent figure in the Pan-African movement. Nkrumah is a unisex name, meaning it can be given to both boys and girls.
The pronunciation of Nkrumah is "en-kruh-mah" with the emphasis on the second syllable. The name is made up of two components: "nkru" which means "ninth" and "mah" which means "born". The name is often spelled with an "h" at the end, as in Nkrumah, which is the more common spelling.
Kwame Nkrumah, the most famous bearer of the name, was a Ghanaian politician and revolutionary who led Ghana to independence from British colonial rule in 1957. He was a strong advocate for Pan-Africanism and played a key role in the formation of the Organization of African Unity (OAU), which later became the African Union. Nkrumah's legacy as a leader and advocate for African unity has made the name Nkrumah a symbol of African pride and resistance against colonialism and oppression.
