Nuumo is used in Ga as an honorific placed before the names of senior male figures. Akwetteh (2017), writing on Teshie, styles the town's founder 'Nuumo Okang Nmashie' and the senior priest of the Osabu-Ayiku deity by the same prefix.
In Teshie traditions the founder is remembered with the honorific Nuumo before his name.
