I’m a Ghanaian and and Akan speaker of the bunu tribe and Akyere just so happens to be my middle name past on from my grandmother Nana is a title given to somebody named after somebody else so my name is Nana Akyere. I’ve been searching for the mean behind the name and from what I know of the language and what people have told me I know okyere means to teach and it’s to my understanding that Akyere is just a variant used. After the third child is something way different I’m pretty sure. My grand mother was 11th of twelve children and two pairs were twins and the name for twins is atta(male) and ataa(female) and there are names for those that come after the twins (attafuo) for sure so maybe it could be one of those names.
