Curious How Mozambique Got its Name?

What comes to mind when you hear the word Mozambique?

Is it the fact that it is the only country in the world to have all five vowels in its name, or the fact that it is one of the only two commonwealth countries with no historic ties to Britain, or the fact that it is one of the 3 countries in the world whose flags have a firearm? Well, while all these trivia questions are interesting, the main thing that comes to my mind is really, how did Mozambique get its name, what does it mean and maybe what other names did it have in its history?

It may seem strange because the country is named after an Arab sheikh, and the name is Arab, despite the country being predominantly Christian. Great video 👍🏻

eastern dialect of Zimbabwe referred to this land between Great Zimbabwe and the sea/ indian ocean as MAZAMBUKO meaning (lightly interepreted) The crossing or the gateway. hence why eastern side of zimbabwe speak same language as mozambique other than the Portuguese. Shisena and Manyika or Chimanyika are more or less same dialects including Chundau. Africa was a beautiful canvass before them ones who liked shitting over everthing came through. would have been nice having access to a beach in Mozambique and go to a safari in Zambia. all that being once country but one day i hope my african brothers will realise the lines drawn on maps are a colonial tool, not ours to adopt

I thought you weren't allowed to use country names in Scrabble!

I would have love to no how Africa was, before all the invasions, so sad to see the motherland divided into so many different countries
