Information Centre

Welcome to the Ghana Place Names website.

All comments & suggestions are welcome, whether they are about the content & presentation of the website, or the project itself.
Here are some ways you might be able to help:

  • Do you have local knowledge of the meaning or origin of any place names in Ghana?

  • Are you fluent in one or more Ghana languages & would like to try interpreting some place names?

  • Would you be prepared to check some of the entries already in the database which are uncertain?

  • Are you working in the educational or academic sectors where you could start an interest group?

  • Are you visiting or living in Ghana and would be prepared to ask for information in towns you visit?

  • Have you got a friend in Ghana who might be able to help?

  • Do you have a website on which you could place a link to Ghana Place Names?

  • Do you have friends who might be interested in this website?

Please feel free to send your comments.

I look forward to hearing from you. - John Turl (Project Manager)
