Nyambe

Nyambe is the creator of the universe, god of the sun and the source of all life. He is described as all-powerful and all-knowing, and watches over his creation from above.

The name varies from people to people, as Njambe, Nyambi, Nzambi and other forms, while the idea stays much the same. Only the Bakongo are known to have also seen Nzambi as a goddess and Sky Mother.
