The Congo River is named after the Kingdom of Kongo, a historical kingdom that existed in the region during the late medieval period. The name "Congo" itself is believed to derive from the Kongo people and their language. The river, one of the longest in the world, has played a crucial role in the history, culture, and economy of the region. Its significance extends beyond geography, influencing trade and transportation in Central Africa.
