Meaning & History
It's Kiswahili for "Scar" and possibly, and is used in the Lion King 2. Kovu was chosen by Scar to become King before Simba returned to Pride Rock. Kovu's Mother Zira almost let Simab kill him when he was just a cub when they were caught in the Pridelands, but Simba told her to take him and leave before departing with his own daughter Kiara. (Many are to believe the movie is based off of William Shakespeare's famous play "Romeo And Juliet", because of how Kiara and Kovu fell in love but were forbidden to be together. But rather than them dying in the end, Zira fell into a river after a beaver dam burst open, causing her to drown, not even letting Kiara help her get out safely.)
