Word origin

赞比亚 (zànbǐyà, "Zambia") is a phonetic rendering of the English country name, so its three characters are chosen mainly for their sounds rather than their individual meanings.

Usage tips

  • Victoria Falls lies on Zambia's border with Zimbabwe, making the country name easier to place on a map of southern Africa.
