There are several places in Ghana called Brofoyedru or Brofoyedur, such as:
- Brofoyedru (Adansi Brofoyedru) at 6°6'23.64"N, 1°35'12.86"W in the Adansi North District of the Ashanti Region
- Brofoyedru (Assin Brofoyedru) at 5°47'01.19"N, 1°17'14.45"W in the Assin North Municipal District of the Central Region
- Brofoyedru (Akim Brofoyedru) at 5°51'00.29"N, 0°52'59.11"W in the Birim Central Municipal District of the Eastern Region
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."
