About Burkina Faso: Formerly called the Republic of Upper Volta, the country was renamed "Burkina Faso" on 4 August 1984 by then-President Thomas Sankara. The words "Burkina" & "Faso" stem from different languages spoken in the country: "Burkina" comes from Mossi & means "upright", showing how the people are proud of their integrity, while "Faso" comes from the Dioula language (as written in N'Ko: ߝߊ߬ߛߏ߫ faso) & means "fatherland" (literally, "father's house"). The "-bè" suffix added onto "Burkina" to form the demonym "Burkinabè" comes from the Fula language & means "men or women". The CIA summarizes the etymology as "land of the honest (incorruptible) men".
