What's in a Name?: The Power of Identity and Divine Purpose

By Elizabeth Ashun

What's in a Name? Everything

Names carry power, identity, and destiny. Scripture reminds us, "I have written your name on the palms of My hands." Throughout the Bible, God gave new names to reveal divine purpose and calling.

In Ghana, as in many cultures, a name is not just a label. It is a compass that guides a person toward identity, legacy, and favor. A carefully chosen name can inspire pride, strength, and blessing, often with the heavy weight of responsibility.

In a world where many struggle with identity and belonging, this book serves as a reminder of the profound significance of names. It encourages parents, guardians, and communities to bestow names that reflect social and spiritual heritage and that speak life, purpose, and blessing into the future.

May this book inspire you to discover the power behind names and to treasure your own name, the one God has written in His hand.
