Akfadou is a commune in northern Algeria in the Béjaïa Province.

[1] The name Akfadou is a contraction of the words "akfuḍ̣̣" and "aḍ̣̣U" which respectively mean "multiple or excess" and "wind".

This name recalls the harsh climate in this region especially in winter when the cold winds gust and heavy snows often isolate small villages.

It is also characterized by agriculture based on polyculture and animal husbandry.

The herd is made up of cattle, most of which are raised for dairy or meat production.
