Ketanji (full name Ketanji Onyika, "lovely one") was given by her parents from a list of West African names suggested by an aunt teaching in Africa. Her grandfathers were corporate executive and police chief; her parents named her after the West African word for "lovely."
Author of Lovely One (2024) — her memoir.
Ketanji 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 Ketanji reduce to 7, The Seeker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
