Re: What does Kirunda mean?
in reply to a message by Jim Young
Ok, you'll find this interesting. There is no occurrence of this name along the Uganda/Kenya border, however, This name appears in central Kenya (several thousand miles from the border), there is a place with the same name. Any other sources you recommend?

Maybe two closely related but geographically separate languages? Or maybe pure coincidence, as with Mori being both an Italian and a Japanese surname; or Gordon being both Scottish and Russian-Jewish. Or it could be Swahili after all.
There is a website, www.namesite.com which is about African names. It has forums for discussion of names, including meanings. Maybe you'd have more luck there.
