- geographic coordinates:

- time difference:
- UTC 0 (5 hours ahead of Washington, DC, during Standard Time)
- etymology:
- according to tradition, the name derives from the fusion of the name "Cona," a Baga wine and cheese producer who lived on Tombo Island (the original site of the present-day capital), and the word "nakiri," which in Susu means "the other bank" or "the other side";
- supposedly, Baga's palm grove produced the best wine on the island and people traveling to sample his vintage, would say: "I am going to Cona, on the other bank (Cona-nakiri)," which over time became Conakry
Rewritten: too little of the 2019 text remains to mark the changes.
