Etymology nb, nb fr Gabon, from nb pt Gabão, originally the Portuguese name of the estuary now known as the Gabon Estuary. Portuguese navigators arriving on the coast in the fifteenth century called the estuary Gabon Estuary Rio de Gabão (“Gabon River”), from pt gabão hooded cloak, overcoat, because its distinctive shape was thought to resemble such a garment. The French name was subsequently extended from the estuary to the surrounding colonial territory, and the modern country consequently takes its name from the Gabon Estuary. nb Ultimate origin of Portuguese gabão uncertain. Dicionário Infopédia da Língua Portuguesa derives the Portuguese word from Italian it gabbano cloak, ultimately from Arabic ar قَبَاء garment, cloak. Other etymologies have also been proposed, however, including derivation through Spanish es gabán overcoat, ultimate connection with Persian fa قبا qabâ long garment, and derivation from Late Latin forms related to la capa cloak. The deeper history of the Portuguese word therefore remains disputed. Parallel international adaptations include da Gabon, sv Gabon, de Gabun, nl Gabon, fr Gabon and en Gabon.
