Did you know?
The most popular and most powerful African water spirit, Mami Wata, gets her name from the English phrase “Mommy Water.” She is also known by region- and country-specific names (“Kuitikuiti,” “Mboze,” “Makanga,” “Bunzi,” and “Kambizi” in the Republic of the Congo alone).
Borrowing her name from a foreign language is appropriate because she is considered to be from another world, the world of the sea. She does not long to be part of your world.
