My name is from Ghana. It is a common surname used by the AKAN, including the ASHANTI people.
The first half of my name - "AGYA (AJah')" - literally translates into "father", an affectionate form used for male parents or people who assume such roles. The second half - "...PONG (like Ping-PONG)" connotes honor and bravery in my culture. So one may say, AGYA-PONG means an honorable and brave man/father.
You may notice that some Ghanaian names end (or sound) just like mine - "PONG"! So try not to confuse us.
Record your name so others can learn to say it right.
