The English name comes, through French, from a Portuguese name meaning “river of prawns.” In 1472, sailors with the Portuguese explorer Fernão do Pó (also called Fernando Pó) were struck by how many prawns were in the Wouri river mouth — the kind now called the Cameroon ghost shrimp — and they named it Rio dos Camarões. That name became French Cameroun, then English Cameroon. So the country-name is, in a roundabout way, a prawn story, not a made-up English word.
