Livingstone named his discovery in honour of Queen Victoria of Britain, but the indigenous Tonga name, Mosi - oa - Tunya--"The Smoke That Thunders"--continues in common usage as well . The World Heritage List officially recognizes both names . Livingstone also cites an older name, Seongo or Chongwe, which means "The Place of the Rainbow" as a result of the constant spray . </P>
