Etymology

Tanzania was made by joining the starts of Tanganyika (Tan) and Zanzibar (Zan) with the ending -ia. The ending -ia is the same one you see in Australia and helps mean 'land', so Tanzania is basically the 'land of' those two places, which fits the country formed from Tanganyika and Zanzibar.
