My guess is when they turned One Man Gang into Akeem the African Dream, they got the "Akeem" name from the film "Coming to America" where Eddie Murphy portrayed Akeem Joffer, Prince of Zamunda. It wouldn't surprise me since the film came out in June 1988 and the Akeem vignette aired in September 1988.
