Meaning & History

From the name of the capital city of the African country, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The city was named after a village (which is also named Kinshasa) that once existed there, which now has become a commune. The name itself is derived from Kikongo particles, ki as the locative word and nshasa meaning "salt".
