I have no idea what it means but I'm going to make an (un)informed guess and say it originated from the Wollof language which is spoken in the Gambia. I remember eating Jollof when I was there like 10 years ago.

What they wrote in that Wikipaedia entry is wrong. The language is Wollof not Jollof. So I guess, my guess, was right after all.

~Back home Jollof isnt not cooked as "One pot" there's alway some gravy sauce with all the "creatures" to go top of it,cooked seperately!! ~Sa Lone Jollof Rice at worst,its always too oily/overcooked!!{have seen enough of those at Parties} i suppose depending on who's cooking,it varies . . . its also not cooked dry . . . as in it don't come out like chinese fried rice!  ~The colour is more Pink than red . . . ~These are the Three differences i have noticed!! You can just tell am a rubbish cook huh?  |
