Kenya is said to have been derived from the old name of Mt Kenya that the Kambas told the early colonial explorers. Kii Nyaa, is the Kamba name for The Ostrich Mountain. The Kikuyu called it Kirinyaga, which means "the one with the ostrich". The ostrich has black or brownish-grey feathers with patches of white just like the snow peaked mountain. It is the name colonialists corrupted to Kenya.
Liberia means liberty. It is the oldest republic in Africa created in 1847 by freed African-American slaves.
