"Mawuko" is a name of Ghanaian origin, spelled in English as /məˈwuːkəʊ/. The first syllable "ma" is pronounced with a schwa sound, followed by an "w" sound pronounced with a long "u" (/u:/) sound. The last syllable "ko" is pronounced with a short "o" (/ɒ/) sound. The "u" and "o" sounds are followed by a silent "k" in the spelling, typical of many Ghanaian names. The correct spelling is important for identification and communication purposes, particularly in cross-cultural settings.
