No, the Volta River in Ghana is not named after Alessandro Volta, the Italian physicist known for his work in electricity. The name "Volta" is derived from the Portuguese word "volta," meaning "bend" or "turn," which likely refers to the river's winding shape. The river was named during the colonial period, reflecting the influence of Portuguese exploration in the region.
