==Etymology of name== The word "Navrongo" is an Anglicization of the name ''navrongo'' which is in Nankane, which combines the word ''naare'' (meaning foot or leg in Nankane) with ''vorongo'' (the term given to the sound of stepping onto muddy soil) or "voro" which is the Kasem term for same.<ref name="parsons">St. John-Parsons, Donald. 'Legends of Northern Ghana'.</ref> This is why Kasena call the town "Navoro" while Nankana call it "Navorongo."
