How Nyasaland became Malawi

The country now known as Malawi was once called Nyasaland. But even before then, it was the location of a big kingdom known as Maravi, which means ‘reflected light’ - perhaps a reference to sunlight gleaming on Lake Malawi which was Lake Nyasa at the time.

This video omits much detail to do with the origin of the name Malawi. The name is said to have been derived from the Chewa word malawí, which means flames. There is some belief that the words malawi and maravi have similar origin as their meanings are also similar.
