Cypriot. I think that would really sound good. I am a Kenyiot. I can hear the president starting a speech...My fellow KenyiotsLaughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly

I don't think the British gave enough thought to naming us. They just mispronounced Kirinyaga as Kenya and thats it, they did not give it further thought. Even a half asleep Englishman could at least have advised to call it Kenyland so to at least rhyme with England and Scotland and Ireland in which case we would be proud Kenyish people. Anyhow they left us with Kenya and by default we became Kenyans.


The name Kenya is derived from the Kamba name for the mountain. Kiinyaa

@Kusadikika. Kenya is and was not a mispronounced Kirinyaga.

Kenya was a mispronounced Kinyaa

Kikamba word meaning 'mountain covered by snow'.
'Ki'denotes 'kiima'=mountain.
'Nyaa'means white snow.

My take is in English speaking countries, if the country name ends in 'A',they just added 'N'. Hence American, Jamaican, Cuban,Indian etc. About

For China&Brazil I think it's about phonetics.

For those ending in consonant 'L','N'or French dominated, they went with 'ee' or 'ese'.
Etc, Senegalese ,Nepalese, Portuguese, Rwandese,Japanese etc.
