SYNOPSIS The name Shona for the inhabitants of “Mashonaland” is not a recent coinage, but is connected with the name Syuna or Sena, and various references in early writings are quoted in support of this. The people to whom the term, in various forms, originally applied are identified with the Lemba, who descended from two originally different groups, the Zambesi Sena and Fallashas, Black Jews from Abyssinia
