So I finally got a tribal name here. Albeit, it’s not as good as Cessie’s “Balima.” Honestly, what is? But it’ll do the trick.
My name is “Mumani”
The name is in the local tribal language, Kinyaturu, not Kiswahili so there’s not an exact definition but it’s closest word in Kiswahili is “Shujaa” which means: a hero, a champion, brave, a stalwart.
Not quite sure what “stalwart’ means, but I’ll take the former three.
Most people can pronounce Jayce (or at least they think they can) so I don’t get called the name that often, but the elders in the village like it, I guess that’s all that matters.
Kwa Afya,
