Etymology
Zamang comes from local Caribbean and Latin American names for the large tropical tree samanea. A helpful way to remember it is to imagine that local name on a big, shady tree with round red flowers and 'seed pods' cattle eat, so zamang means that well-known ornamental tree that gives lots of 'shade'.
