Gabon derived its name from the Portuguese word "gabão," meaning "cloak" or "hood," which referred to the shape of the estuary of the Gabon River. Portuguese explorers, who arrived in the region in the late 15th century, noted this distinctive shape and used the term to describe the area. The name was later adopted when Gabon became a French colony in the late 19th century.
