Kwanzaa is the name of an African-American holiday that began in 1966. According to the creator of the holiday, Karenga, the name "Kwanzaa" derives from the Swahili phrase matunda ya kwanza, meaning "first fruits of the harvest", although a more conventional translation would simply be "first fruits.

The word "kwanzaa" itself resembles Swahili but is not an actual Swahili word.
