Etymology

Wakanda is the name of a fictional African country made for Marvel, known for its advanced technology and rich resources. A helpful way to remember Wakanda is to think of it as an almost 'magical' place, because the name sounds like some words for 'spirit' in Native American languages, which fits its mix of high technology and long traditions.
