Asamoah


Asamoah is a prominent last name of the Akan tribe in West Africa, primarily located in Ghana. It is derived from "Asomafo" in the twi language, meaning "apostles." In Twi, "Asoma" is the verb "to send" and "fo" means people, so the literal translation is "sent people." The family name grew with the rise of Christianity in the Gold Coast which was the forefather to modern Ghana.
