I read somewhere, Krapf had gone to kenya, and was looking for Mt. kenya..at that time it was called kirinyaga. Some say Kenya is from the inability of the white man to say Kirinyaga, but another source that I read claims that..when Krapf was exploring, he walked around with some kamba dude.. so when they reached somewhere near the mountain, the Kamba pointed and said "kiinya", which in Kamba means a mountain, or a hill...Krapf wrote down the name as he heard it pronounced..So Kenya was basically named after the mountain...
