Kwanzaa is not a Swahili word. It was created about 50 years ago in the U.S.A. It appears to be a Portmanteau word made up from the Swahili ordinal kwanza (first) and the verb kuzaa to (to give birth, of animals, or to bear fruit, of plants). No Swahili-speaking African would recognize the meaning of the noun kwanzaa unless he or she were familiar with American culture.
