Tuvalu's name is derived from the Tuvaluan language, meaning "eight standing together." This refers to the eight islands that make up the nation: Funafuti, Nanumanga, Nanumea, Niutao, Nui, Vaitupu, Nukufetau, and Nukulaelae. The name reflects the unity of these islands within the country. Tuvalu gained its official name in 1978 upon becoming an independent nation.
