I know many of you still are very sure about her name meaning very fast in swahili, but in this discussion post here you will soon learn that we all were led to believe a lie and why is that you might ask?

Simple, because I found out the truth in the end of 2019 when once again reading through a book called Complete Swahili from Joan Russel from the company Teach Yourself that is popular for its many teach yourself language books that all come with downloadble audio tracks for many examples a complete bilingual dictionary of all words used in english and swahili and after each teaching lesson a summary with a pile of do it yourself practises to see what you need to improve and what you learned so far.

In this book I discovered something very peculiar it was up on page 286 in the dictionary of swahili words and then again present on page 74. There it says the following

"6 seasons of the year (Majira) and months (miezi)

Kiangazi December-March Hottest time of year, with north-east           monsoon, Kaskazi

Masika April-May Period of heaviest rain

Kipupwe June-August Coolest time of the year

Vuli September-November Period of lightest rainfall and onset of Kaskazi

So try and pronounce Vuli, yeah right you end up saying Fuli, especially if you know the V pronounciation from german like I do. That's when I figured out why she was called like this, never to point out her being the fastest but to demonstrate her date of birth which has to be in this Time Period.

Also this made clear why they always chose to push back further episodes of the series before season 3 came out and also why they showed the whole thing in just one month, which was may I remind you in September if counting out the opener special.

Now I know why Fuli was so important for the series to show the big amount of development and change Kion's personality (born in Kiongazi most likely thus naming him Kion short for Kiongozi leader and the month he was born in also). You can clearly see her support of him and becoming best friends as she becomes his second in command for the lion guard in season 3.

Just thought that you would find this interesting and wanted to share with all here on this fandom wiki.
