Preferred Label : french guiana;

MeSH definition : A French overseas department on the northeast coast of South America. Its capital is Cayenne. It was first settled by the French in 1604.

The name of the country and the capital are variants of Guyana, possibly from the native Indian Guarani guai (born) ana (kin), implying a united and interrelated race of people. (From Webster's New Geographical Dictionary, 1988, p418 & Room, Brewer's Dictionary of Names, 1992, p195);
