The word Ghana means "warrior king" and was the title given to the ruler of Awkar, often now called the Ghana Empire. The Empire was not located where the modern country of Ghana is, but in what is now southeastern Mauritania and western Mali. It existed from about 300 AD to about 1200 AD.

The name Ghana means Warrior King.
Ghana
The name Ghana was chosen foe the new nation to reflect the ancient Empire of Ghana that once extended throughout much of western Africa. Ghana means warrior king.
The nation of Ghana in Africa was named for the ancient Ghana Empire, or Kingdom. In the language used in that ancient kingdom, 'ghana' meant, "Warrior King", a name, no doubt, meant to frighten their enemies.
Ghana only traded within Africa and Songhai had Muslim influences. The main trade in Ghana was between salt and gold, but the trade in Songhai was more diverse. In Ghana they had to pay tax to the king, but in Songhai they did not. Ghana was ruled by a single king. Songhai had five provinces that were each ruled by a separate governor. I hope that helps :)
