" /ˈɡɪdiən/ "  " Nu-na-na" "Ah-ta- doh"

My first name "Gideon" is of Hebrew origin and is derived from the Hebrew name "גִּדְעוֹן" (Gid'on), which translates to "hewer" or “feller,” meaning “one who cuts down" or "mighty warrior." 

It originates from the Biblical figure Gideon (Book of Judges), a judge and military leader who led the Israelites to victory against the Midianites. 

My parents, per their faith, named me after this Biblical figure.

My middle name is "Nu-na-na" it is a theophoric name originating from the Ewe tribe in the Volta region of Ghana, West Africa.

The Nunana or Nuna means "gift of God" or "gift". This is the name I prefer to be called by, as it is what my parents usually call me."

My last name, "Attado" is my grandfather's name, given to me by my father as tradition demands.
