The paper is a study of Ghanaian toponymy in the form ofhuman settlement and falls under language and culture. Ithighlights what influence the European contact with Ghana(formerly the Gold Coast) has had on the native Akan place names,especially the towns and villages in the TMA. Even though therehave been some media reports and other works done on Ghanaian toponymy or place names, including the names of some towns(see, for instance, Andoh, 2014; Ampene, 2014a,b,c,d,e,f; BaahBentum, 2004; Boateng-Gyamfi, 2014; Anon, 2014d,e,f,g), therehas not been any report or study on the towns and villages of theTMA. This research aims to bridge this gap.
