Fotouni's Rich Culture, people and heritage

Fotouni's story is exhilarating and fierce, made up of wars, superhuman efforts, blood, sweat and tears that have left their indelible marks on its indegenous people. The term "fotouni" is of warlike origin;

This testifies to the history of the sons of this village which has continued to be inscribed in letters of fire and violence.

The name Fotouni is very recent and dates from 1909. Indeed, when a German army lieutenant during a trip to Dschang stopped at current Fotouni, he asked the name, he was told: "Petouni".

This term which can have two meanings: either those who cut off their heads to allude to the various wars during which the weapons used were above all the spears and machetes;

Either "those who descended by the head" that is to say from the top.

Indeed, the indegens of Fotouni descended from the mountains to occupy the southern part.

In one way or another, this expression has become in its evolutions Batouni and later Fotouni.
