ArchivesIn search of the etymologies of these names...
Hello,
I am looking for some information on the meanings of these girls names from the Kikuyu culture of Kenya.
Wangari
Wanjiru
Wanjiku
Njeri
Wairimu
Wangui
Waithira
They are the names of seven of the nine daughters of the legendary forefather of the Kikuyu, Gikuyu.
I have managed to find the meanings of the remaining two names, Wambui ("zebra") and Nyambura ("of the rain").
Thank you so much!
