In many Ewe communities, the naming ceremony, known as "Dzo," is a significant cultural event that usually takes place a few days after a child's birth. Family and friends gather to celebrate, and a respected elder or priest performs the ceremony, which includes prayers, blessings, and the formal announcement of the child's name. The chosen name often reflects family heritage, circumstances of birth, or hopes for the child's future. Traditional music, dance, and feasting are integral parts of the celebration, emphasizing community bonding and the joy of new life.
