Nana (title)

Nana is a Ghanaian title.

Amongst the Akan clans of Ghana, the word Nana generally denotes social eminence derived from either nobility or advanced age. It is most often used as a pre-nominal honorific by individuals who are entitled to it due to the former of the two ( E.g: kings and chieftains such as Otumfuo Nana Osei Tutu II, the reigning Asantehene of Asanteman ).
