Aba

Aba is a snappy, charming girl’s name of African origin. With roots in the Fante or Twi languages, dialects hailing from the regions of Ghana, this name means “born on Thursday.” Now, of course, baby may not be born on this specific day of the week; but, your little Aba can take inspiration from a day associated with lightning, thunder, and natural wonders. And, undoubtedly, baby is sure to bring you utter joy every day of the week—but especially on Thursdays.
