Etymology

Derived from a Niger-Congo language spoken in the Guinea region, probably through Portuguese banana. Further derivation is unclear. Possible ancestor or cognate languages include Wolof banaana, Eastern Maninkakan banana, and Vai ꕒꘌꕯ (ɓaana) or ꕒꕌꕯ (ɓaana). However, Ay Baati Wolof (Munro & Gaye, 1997) posits that Wolof banaana is itself derived from Portuguese banana. See: Portuguese Nouns 'banana', Portuguese Nouns 'banana'.
