While most commonly referred to as "Mancala" in the West—which stems from the Arabic word naqala (meaning "to move")—the game goes by different names depending on the African region. For example, it is known as Oware in West Africa (specifically Ghana), Ayò Olópón in Nigeria, and Bao in East Africa.
