It is an Ewe name that’s particularly known in Ghana. It means your life is in your own hands or you control your destiny. In more religious homes it tends to mean your life is in God’s hands. That’s when they usually call out the name by attaching “Nyale” to it. Like so : “Agbesi Nyale”. In most Ewe homes there’s a whole song made up for it.
