Afua

Afua is an African-originated baby name, particular to the Akan people of Ghana, and is generally given to babies of a specific gender. Afua is a derivative of the Akan language's Efiada or Fiada, meaning 'Friday'. Therefore, the meaning of Afua is 'born on a Friday' or 'given life on a Friday'. The name is also spelled Efia and is a known feminine variant of Koffi. However, Afua in Swahili means 'mercy' or 'protection'. Contemporary notables with the name include Afua Richardson, an African-American musician, writer, and comic artist; Afua Cooper, a Jamaican-born Canadian poet and historian; Efua Theodora Sutherland, a Ghanaian dramatist, playwright, children's author, director, child advocate, poet, researcher, educationalist, and cultural activist; Efua Atta, Kofi Annan's sister; Afua Hirsch, a Norwegian-born British broadcaster and writer; Efua Baker, a Ghanaian-British trainer and TV personality; and Efua Dorkenoo, a Ghanaian-British activist.

Lucky

Afua lucky number is 2.

Within numerology, the 2 vibration assumes the role of the mediator, creating harmony by bringing together dissonant forces through compassion, empathy, and kindness. 2 is linked to psychic abilities and intuition, and if this number appears as a Life Path or Destiny Number, the individual will be astute to subtle energy shifts and emotional nuances. Because 2 is so sensitive, it is very conflict-averse, and can end up feeling under-appreciated or unacknowledged. 2 must avoid seeking external validation and, instead, realize that perfect equilibrium needed already exists within.
