I cannot fetch you all kikuyu names to use in your story, but my little guide may help you naming ideas, characters, places, and concepts.
1. One of the good ways to name something is to simply change one or two letters of a real or known kikuyu name to create something new which is still recognizable, simple, and memorable.
For example, Sarah could become Saral and so forth; the name Jonathan could be Jolothan.
Here are some kikuyu names examples you can try to change on your own:
- Wanjĩra Wairimu
- Wanjikũ Wamweru
- Nyambura Waceera
- Njeri Ng’Endo
- Wathira Nyawira
- Nduta Mũthoni
- Wandia Wambũi
- Mũrugi Wambugua
- Ngina Waithĩra
- Nũngari Murigo
- Wanjikũ Mũrugi
- Nyambugi Waceera
- Mumbi Wamuhu
- Wanjiku Nyakio
- Nyagũra Mũrĩnga
- Wamũyũ Wameru
- Wambeere Wamweru
- Wambui Jata
- Mũkami Mũmbi
- Njambi Wanjirũ
2. Most often fantasy names are usually deeply rooted in the culture and language they come from, like kikuyu names.
For example, In Scottish, mac means “son of”. You may come up with some words that you use as prefix or suffix to convey some meaning and sprinkle it.
Check out these kikuyu name and try to put some prefix or suffix with them:
