ArchivesRe: My untrackable name
in reply to a message by Zania
Could it originally be from Zinnia (a flower)? Or Zaina? Or Zana? Or Zenia?
I would honestly have no clue which it was a variant of though. I would probably assume Zinnia or Zenia.
Also, there's the part where it looks like part of Tanzania. I can't find a meaning for the name Tanzania, however. Like they just made it up when they combined contries.

Yes, Tanzania is `made up' or portmanteau word from Tanganyika and Zanzibar, which joined in the mid-60's. The original two country names are in Swahili and Arabic respectively.
