The river's name might come from the Berber phrase ger-n-ger and it means "river-of-rivers". Medieval European maps only called a middle part of the river "Niger" because they had flawed maps. The name Nigeria was credited to British journalist Flora Shaw. But I guess the naming still applies.

And Flora follows the CNR. Hm...

edit: and now as I re-read this comment I can't help but realize what I wrote. Counting "ger-n-ger" it appears six times in four sentences. I just started a flame war, didn't I?
