Who invented the name Zambia? Who was Chief Lusaaka? Were Kabulonga and Kabwata his daughters? Why does Kitwe mean 'big head"? Who was Bwana Mkubwa? We know about Victoria, but what do the names of other waterfalls of Zambia mean? Why did they laugh in Kasama? Why were they quiet in Kalulushi? Zambian Place Names brings together the names of over 1000 places in Zambia, with their origins, meanings and the fascinating stories behind them. The collection covers villages, towns and cities of Zambia, as well as rivers, lakes, waterfalls, airports, bridges, universities and colleges, and sporting venues.
