Musa balbisiana is native to South Asia.
 Some languages describe south in the same way, from the fact that it is the direction of the sun at noon (in the Northern Hemisphere), like Latin meridies 'noon, south' (from medius 'middle' + dies 'day', cf English meridional), while others describe south as the right-hand side of the rising sun, like Biblical Hebrew  teiman 'south' from  yamin 'right', Aramaic  taymna from  yamin 'right' and Syriac  taymna from  yamina (hence the name of Yemen, the land to the south/right of the Levant)
The country of South Africa is so named because of its location at the southern tip of Africa
