Mozambique was previously known as "Mozambique Island," which was derived from the name of a 16th-century Arab trader, Mussa Ben Mbiki. During the colonial period, it was referred to as "Portuguese East Africa" when it was a colony of Portugal from the late 15th century until its independence in 1975. The name "Mozambique" has its roots in the island's name and has been used since the colonial era.
