-
Little is known about the literal meaning of the word Biafra. The word Biafra most likely derives from the subgroup Biafar or Biafada[46] of the Tenda ethnic group who reside primarily in Guinea-Bissau.[47] Manuel Álvares (1526–1583), a Portuguese Jesuit educator, in his work Ethiopia Minor and a geographical account of the Province of Sierra Leone,[48] writes about the "Biafar heathen" in chapter 13 of the same book.[49] The word Biafar thus appears to have been a common word in the Portuguese language back in the 16th century.
