If you take a look a the many Ewe names we have in Ghana and their meanings, there are stories behind each of them, and often parents choose a name to give their child which can be dependent on several factors.

For instance, a mother who had a difficult pregnancy and at some point felt, she wouldn’t make it after giving birth chooses to name the child Edem which means, He has saved me (He represents the creator in this context).

In choosing such Ewe names, the mother or father sometimes decides on what Ewe name to give their baby but then sometimes, the couple discuss it and come into an an agreement.
