I_love_lion king566

In the LK movies there are alot of names that are in Swahili. And I think there is one in Zulu, I think. So for those of you who do not know what some of the names mean in Swahili here they are.

Simba= Lion

Sarabi= Mirage

Mufasa= nothing.

Kiara= I think means brave.

Kovu= Scar I think.

Rafiki= friend.

Those are basically the only ones I know so far. If you know what the other names mean plz tell us. Thank you.

Kwaheri.
