Guys who grew up in Nyeri in the 90s would know the biggest wholesaler in Nyeri by the name "Nderitu Guandaro wholesalers". Have never heard the name with anyone else.

Mutahi, ndirangu, Nderitu, Kariuki, muriuki, Wanjohi, wambugu. The kikuyu naming system was quite interesting. All these names have meanings. But if you hear a Mbugua, Mburu, Kimani, Njuguna in Nyeri, just know that is either an immigrant or someone named after a relative from Kiambu/RV. There was a time JTL was running the Mbugua of faiba commercial. And anytime he said "my name is mbugua from nyeri" it always felt odd. Personally i don't know of a Mbugua in Nyeri. I have a neighbour called Mburu whose mum was from kiambu. So are Chege's.You will only hear a Chege from Murang'a.  It is Cege, not Chege.

Interesting. So which are the typical Nyeri names apart from the ones mentioned? Also, I've never heard of anyone with the name Kibaki apart from our former prezzo
