Swaziland
Formally the country is named Umbuso weSwatini, the Kingdom of eSwatini. The name reflects the country's Swazi name (meaning "land of the Swazi"). The King announced the formal name change to mark the 50th anniversary of the country's independence from Britain. Bechuanaland was a previous name given to Botswana.
