The fact remains that the name Ghana was foreign to the ethnic groups that make up the Republic of Ghana. The name was the title of the Rulers of the Kingdom of Wagadou (refered to as the Ghana Empire), whose people were mainly the Soninke and Malinke, Mande speaking ethnic groups with no direct links to any of the ethnic groups in the Gold Coast.
Some historians generally agree that internal factors, including mismanagement and political instability, played a significant role in the decline of the medieval kingdom of Wagadou (Ghana Empire).

The politicians/academics who first sugested VOLTARIA as a name for the then colony, were on the right track, since such a name would have been a natural representation of the country (like Nigeria and Niger, named after the River Niger).

Volta is neither the authentic name of the river.

With no links to ethnic groups in the Gold Coast? Not true. The links can be seen in the languages of the people in the Northern, Upper East and Upper West Regions that have similar roots to the Mossi language of Ouagadougu. The partition of Africa saw many tribes in these Gold areas end up in Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast and Togo. Some historical accounts have the empire as being called the Mossi-Dagomba empire, hence the closeness of the languages of Frafra, Dagar, Dagbani, Nabdam, and others, with the Mossi language of Burkina Faso. That kingdom stretched into most parts of present day Northern Region, Upper East Region and Upper West region.

The Colonial Era Name, Gold Coast would have been a more natural representation of this land and its peoples, than the name Ghana.

Contrary to your colonial claim, the name Ghana suits the people fine. It's a name that Ghanaians freely chose to go by, unlike the name Gold Coast that was imposed on us by colonial trespassers.

That Ghana Empire stretched all the way to include mush of the entire mass of what used be northern part of the Gold Coast. The name therefore doesn't belong to other people as you claim simply by reading the article that contains historical misrepresentations. The word used be 'Gana Empire', and modern historians spelt it 'Ghana'. Unlike the claim in the article that the name Ghana referred to the power of the ruler of the Ghana Empire, that word actually refers to term 'skin', as in 'stool'. The skin of a cow was the symbol of authority of the ruler of the 'Empire', hence the term 'Gana Empire'. Half of the the Gold Coast was actually a part of the Gana Empire.
