Okay. What can you tell me about the etymology of the region? 
 I can tell you know in regards to etymology that the French colony of Upper Volta was named for its location on the upper courses of the Volta River (black, red and white Volta). 
 Hi! I've never heard of Burkina Faso and would love to know more about it, please. 
 That's so cool! Thanks so much for all your help! 
 I am sorry I do not have that information at this moment but I can tell you that the people from Burkina Faso are called Burkinabe and it is formally called the Republic of Volta (previously stated above)
