Very pretty. And meaningful. Thanks. Historically speaking, when did it first get this name? I know many countries in Africa have changed names over the years. 
 You are very welcome! Have a great day! 
 I am not 100 % but I do see that various ethnic groups of present day Burkina Faso, such as the Mossi, Fulla, and Dyula arrived in waves between the 8th and the 15th centuries. 
 I am very interested in learning about Burkina Faso. Can you help me with that? 
 Yes I see the the territory was made part of French West Africa in 1904 and the colony of French Upper Volta was established in March 1919.
