The name Dagoretti is derived from one of the streams from the Kikuyu springs, ga-taguretti which later joins other streams to form the Nairobi River. At the source of the river there abound a certain plant that the Maasai called 'entiakulet'with variable pronunciation and spelling - which the Kikuyu corrupted easily and the Mzungu quickly gave the present spelling.
