Baby Ralph Named

Evangelist Raphael Adjei Kingbi and his wife Mavis held a "Naming Ceremony" today for their first born child, a boy. The ceremony was attended by approximately 200 friends and family members.

The name given is: Raphael Nii Adjei Anang Kingbi. He is named after his dad, Evangelist Ralph.

Ralph gave the following information concerning the meaning of each name.

Raphael - God heals
Nii - A title used to address a Chief in the Ga Tribe
Adjei - A first born son in the tribe from which you come
Anang - A 4th born son. Ralph is the 4th born son in his family
Kingbi - Ralph's mother had very fair skin and was called Kingbi, so this has been taken as the family name or the surname

I have given this information as I understood it from Evangelist Ralph during a telephone call earlier today. Please forgive me if any of it is not exactly correct.
