The Republic of Zimbabwe is an African country. Its name was originally proposed by nationalist politician Michael Mawema from an old name for the city of Great Zimbabwe, and is possibly formed from the karanga dzimba ("houses") bwe ("stone") words for the stone houses found in that village. See Rhodesia.
