Etymology of BURUNDI FRANC

The term "Burundi Franc" is derived from the country's name, Burundi, and the currency used in the country, Franc.

The word "Burundi" itself is believed to come from the Kirundi language, which is widely spoken in the country. It is said to be a combination of the words "bu" and "rundi". "Bu" means "land" or "place", while "rundi" could potentially mean "to become" or "to settle". Therefore, "Burundi" could be understood as "a place to settle" or "a land where people have settled".

On the other hand, the term "Franc" has a broader origin. It can be traced back to the medieval times in Europe when various countries first started using the currency. The word "Franc" is derived from the Latin term "Francus", which means "free".
