Word origin

加纳 (jiānà, "Ghana") is a sound-based Chinese rendering of the English country name, so its characters are chosen for pronunciation rather than meaning.

Usage tips

  • The modern country shares its name with the ancient Ghana Empire, although the empire was not in the same place as present-day Ghana.
