Kenya is a name derived from the mount Kirinyaga showing the pride culture of the people of Kenya. Also from the coastal people, they believe it is from the name Kaya which means home.

The website I've listed gives the meaning of all African country names. Here is the meaning for Kenya:
Kenya: Named after the mountain of the same name. and this in turn derives it name from The Kikuyu, who refer to the mountain as Kirinyaga, or Kere-Nyaga ("Mountain of Whiteness").
