Cameroon

The German Wikipedia (article "Kamerun") tells the story a bit different: First the river got its name from the Portuguese, then closeby hills (or mountains?) got the name from the river, then the German colonial authorities named a city after the river (today: Douala), and then the country got its name. Please check what is correct. 192.38.121.229 (talk) 17:35, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
