The name Suriname may derive from an indigenous people called Surinen, who inhabited the area at the time of European contact. [18] The suffix -ame, common in Surinamese river and place names (see also the Coppename River), may come from aima or eima, meaning river or creek mouth, in Lokono, an Arawak language spoken in the country.
