Kenya

The name Kenya is derived from the country of the same name in East Africa. It is a place name that has been adopted as a given name, particularly for girls.

The name Kenya comes from the Kikuyu language, one of the indigenous languages of Kenya. The meaning is not entirely clear, but it is thought to be derived from the word 'Kirinyaga' which refers to Mount Kenya, the highest mountain in the country.

As a given name, Kenya may have been chosen for its unique sound and connection to the African country. It could also signify a sense of pride or appreciation for the nation's natural beauty and rich cultural heritage.

While the name Kenya has a geographical origin, it has taken on its own identity as a distinctive and exotic-sounding name for girls.
