Etymology of Faidherbia:
For Louis Léon César Faidherbe (1818–1889), French general and governor of Senegal. For his military services in Algeria, Guadeloupe and France, he was decorated with the grand cross, and made chancellor of the order of the Legion of Honour. In 1872 he went on a scientific mission to Upper Egypt, where he studied the monuments and inscriptions. An enthusiastic geographer, philologist and archaeologist, he wrote numerous works, including Collection des inscriptions numidiques (1870), Epigraphie phenicienne (1873), Essai sur la langue poul (1875) and Le Znaga des tribes sénégalaises (1877), the last a study of the Berber language. He also wrote on the geography and history of Senegal and the Sahara, and La Campagne de l’armée du Nord (1872).
