Kwanza = beginning or first, or "at first," or "to start with." The name for the African-American holiday, Kwanzaa, is a derivative of this word, taken from the phrase "matunda ya kwanza," or "first fruits (of the harvest)."

Kwanzaa or "matunda ya kwanza" is celebrated on seven different days. Karamu, the African feast, is celebrated on December 31
Kwanzaa comes from a Swahili phrase 'matunda ya kwanza'. An additional 'a' was added to Kwanza so the word would have the same number of letters as there were for the Principles of 'Nguzu Saba' of Blackness.
