QUÉNIA — KENYA

KENYA — QUÉNIA. País da África Oriental.

«Kenya is named after Mount Kenya – the second tallest mountain in Africa. The Kikuyu people who lived around present day Mt Kenya referred to it as Kirinyaga or Kerenyaga, meaning mountain of whiteness because of its snow capped peak. Mt Kirinyaga which was the main landmark became synonymous with the territory the British later claimed as their colony. The name Kenya arose out of the inability of the British to pronounce Kirinyaga correctly.» (https://kenyaembassy.nl/history/)
