Il Maravi fu un regno che si estendeva negli attuali Malawi, Mozambico e Zambia nel XVI secolo. L'attuale termine Maláŵi sembra derivare dal termine Chichewa malaŵí, ossia "fiamme", e il nome di tale popolo è ancora diffuso in questi tre attuali stati. La lingua Chewa, riferita anche come Nyanja, Chinyanja o Chichewa, è parlata nel Malawi centrale e meridionale, nello Zambia e in certi casi anche nel Mozambico, ed è la lingua principale emersa da questo periodo.
