Etymology
Cameroonian as an adjective comes from the country name Cameroon, which comes from the Portuguese word camarões meaning 'shrimp' because explorers named a river for the many shrimp there. The ending -ian means 'related to' or 'from', like in Canadian, so Cameroonian describes something that is 'from' or 'about' Cameroon.
