Our generated misspelling index lists 7 likely wrong-spelling variants for Ghana, with forms such as "gahna", "gghana", and "ghaan". Each of these forms differs from the correct spelling by one small edit: a doubled letter, a dropped silent letter, or a substituted vowel. It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "gran", "Gina", "grand", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so its spelling is best read as a straightforward mapping from sound to letter. The correct French form is Ghana, spelled G-H-A-N-A.
