Although Ghanaians have come to love her as the “Nana Ama McBrown,” that is not the real name of the country’s favourite actress.

The award-winning actress, who has won the hearts of millions of people in Ghana and around the world, has revealed the name “McBrown” was never her surname, but an inherited name from her uncle.

According to the host of the Onua TV show, the name “McBrown” was given to her by her late uncle, whom she adored so much.

The “McBrown’s Kitchen” host shared this detail while interacting on her fans on social media.

Nana Ama revealed that the name “McBrown” was given to her uncle, Papa Kofi due to his selfless exploits outside of the country.

“May God bless my uncle, Papa Kofi McBrown. I can never let go of my name, the name ‘McBrown’ is exceptional. My uncle taught me a lot of things. He didn’t get that name by chance, he was a good person and God took him to a good place. His honesty and loyalty caused someone to give him that name. I will talk about it later,” she revealed.

Nana Ama explained that once her uncle returned to Ghana and met her for the first time again in years, he quickly took a liking to her, adopted her and gave her the name “McBrown.

“When he came back to Ghana, he didn’t recognize me because he left when I was younger. He later came around my house and got introduced to me. That was when he decided to take me as his own. He took me, gave me the ‘McBrown’ name, and asked me to take care of the name,” she stated.

Nana Ama also shared that her real name is “Felicity Agyeman,” and that all her “mates in Kwadaso and Prince of Peace girls SHS can attest to that.”

“When he changed the name, it went from Felicity Agyeman to Nana Ama Agyeman McBrown. So I can let go of it,” she disclosed.
