Ashantey is of African origin, specifically from Ghana, where it's derived from the Akan language. It's composed of two parts: "asha" meaning "noble" and "ney," which denotes royalty or kingliness. Thus, Ashantey translates to "royalty is noble." This name has a rich cultural heritage and signifies nobility and elegance. It gained popularity outside Africa in recent decades due to its unique sound and meaningful origin. In some cultures, it may be used as both a male and female name, while in others, it's predominantly associated with females. Ashantey is pronounced /äˈʃænti/, with the stress on the second syllable.
