Burundians

/bʊˈrʊndiənz/ noun

Definition

The people or citizens of Burundi, a country in East Africa.

Etymology

From 'Burundi' (the country name, from Bantu roots meaning 'place of the Rundi people') plus the demonym suffix '-ans'.

Kelly Says

Burundi is one of the most densely populated countries in Africa and has ancient origins in the Bantu migrations—the name itself preserves the memory of the Rundi ethnic group that established the kingdom.
