The ceremony at which a newborn baby is formally named and presented to the family and community, traditionally on the eighth day after birth.
The child is brought outside for the first time — hence the name. There are prayers, libation in traditional ceremonies, the giving of the name, and contributions from guests.
Among Akan people the child receives a day name based on the day of the week they were born — Kwame for a boy born on Saturday, Ama for a girl.
Like funerals and traditional marriages, an outdooring carries social and financial obligation. If you are invited, going matters.
