El Wak (Somali: Ceelwaaq; var. Ceel Waaq) is a divided city on the Somalia-Kenya border. The Somali portion is located in the southwestern Gedo region of Jubaland state, where it is the seat of one of the region's seven districts.
The place name "CeelWaaq" literally translates as "God's well". In the Afro-AsiaticSomali language, the word Ceel means "well" and the word Waaq comes from Waaq, an archaic Somali term for God.[1]
