Extract

• Records two distinct senses of "Teranga" found across contracts it indexes: (1) as a corporate name, "Teranga means Teranga Gold Corporation," and (2) a linguistic gloss it attributes to a "Teranga Gold Corporation fact sheet" (February 2014): "Teranga means hospitality and friendliness in Wolof, the main local language of Senegal," adding that the company chose the name to "reflect its actions and vision of becoming the benchmark for responsible gold mining in the country."
• Commercial-use data point: Teranga Gold Corporation was a Canadian-listed gold-mining company operating in Senegal (merged into Endeavour Mining in 2021) that adopted the word as its corporate name, explicitly tying it to a claimed ethical/responsible-business self-image — a different commercial-adoption shape from this project's lifestyle-marketing cases (hygge, lagom): the company keeps the gloss close to the word's ordinary meaning (paralleling ubuntu's Canonical/Linux case) rather than repackaging it as an exotic feeling for sale.
