SIMBA. African
Swahili name meaning "lion." The American author Stewart
Edward White wrote a novel set in Africa entitled Simba, the name
of the story's main character.
... The
ugly but attractive young savage stepped from the ranks of the
bodyguard.
"The Bwana M'Kubwa wishes to thank
you," said Kingozi.
"Assanti, bwana."
"What you did was good. Did you not
know that these people would think you an enemy and kill you?"
"That thought came to me, b'wana."
"Were you not afraid?"
"A long time ago, bwana, it
happened that you yourself cut from a dead lion a piece of fat, and with
it you touched my forehead and my heart, and you said these words:
'The lion, simba, is bravest among beasts. Remember that
this magic will make it possible for you to be the bravest among your
companions'; and so it comes that I feel no fear."
Kingozi's brow knit, then cleared.
"You were then a child," he said,
"I remember. You stood before the lion with your spear.
Your name is Simba." (Simba, White, 1918)
