Etymology
Benin comes from the nearby Bight of Benin, a coastal 'bay' on the Gulf of Guinea that was named after the old Benin Empire to the east. When the country changed its name from Dahomey in 1975, leaders chose Benin to show it was a name for the whole region, not for one group, so today Benin is the name of the nation on that part of the coast.
