Kenya is associated with the meaning “Animal horn; mountaintop; jewel” — a beautiful sentiment to see brought to life in your child’s room.
The name Kenya comes directly from the country in East Africa, which itself is derived from "Kirinyaga," the Kikuyu people's name for Mount Kenya. The word means "place of the ostrich" or "mountain of whiteness," referring to the snow-capped peak. It is a place name that crossed over into personal use during the 20th century.
