//The name Ama is a girl's name of African origin meaning "born on a Saturday". Ama is a day name used by the Akan people of Ghana for girls born on Saturday.//
Agree that Ada is a better answer

Because the clue refers to 'her' most of us are thinking the 'parent' part has to be female but it doesn't and 'Da' is a well used Irish term for father ie parent.
