Etymology of this place name:

Boron = Twi for foreign people or people which are not staying in the homeland;

in the precolonial history was this also a denomination for Europeans

fo as plural suffix = Twi for persons, people...

ye = Twi for are

duru = Twi for heavy, strong...

So, Brofoyedru = "Europeans are strong."
