Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 : “Land Of Upright/Honesti/People.”

Burkina comes from the Mossi language and means roughly “upright,” “honest,” or “incorruptible.”

Faso comes from the Dyula language and means “fatherland” or “homeland.”

The country adopted the name Burkina Faso in 1984, replacing its former colonial-era name, Upper Volta.
