Etymology

The first name given to what is known now as Malawi was Nyasaland, a combination of the Lomwe word nyasa "lake" and the English word "land". The combined name was formed by David Livingstone, a Scottish explorer and missionary who led the legendary Zambezi Expedition through the area in the mid-1800s. The current name Malawi, meaning "flames" in Chichewa and Chitumbuka, was chosen by the first president of Malawi, Kamuzu Banda, after the country achieved its independence from Great Britain in 1964.
