In the African culture, every name has a meaning and the Kamba community isn't left out.
Just like other communities, the Kamba too has got a variety of names with their meaning.
Here is a list of names which may sound funny with their meaning:
1. Menze
Menze is a name given to a chubby or plump female child upon birth.
These are the kind of names that will be announced in a gathering and people will turn their heads to confirm whether the name befits the holder.
2. Waiyu
Just like Mwilu, Kiilu and Kisilu the names mean dark in complexion and once a child is born with a dark complexion is called these names.
The opposite of these names include Mwelu, Mutune, and Mweu.
3. Nthuka
Common male names in Machakos County meaning 'ugly'. Why would a parent call his/her child ugly?
Other similar names include Kithuka and Muthuka.
4. Kavuthi
Also, Kivuthi is a common name given to boys meaning soil.
Actually, the reason behind calling a child that name isn't known but the names continue to exist.
5. Makau
Male names meaning fight and the owners of the name are known to like fighting.
In an occurrence of a fight, such people would threaten by saying 'you will know I'm not called Makau for anything.
If you hear that expect things to turn bad because these people believe fight solves everything.
