Abena is a Twi (Akan) day name from Ghana — meaning "born on Tuesday." In Akan tradition, every child receives a day name based on the day of birth. Tuesday's male equivalent is Kwabena.
Abena is widely used across Ghana and the Akan diaspora.
Abena does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Abena reduce to 5, The Seeker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
