kikuyu

The Kikuyu (also Agĩkũyũ/Gĩkũyũ) are a Bantu ethnic group native to Central Kenya. At a population of 8,148,668 as of 2019, they account for 17.13% of the total population of Kenya, making them the largest ethnic group in Kenya.
The term Kikuyu is derived from the Swahili form of the word Gĩkũyũ. Gĩkũyũ is derived from the word mũkũyũ which means Olive tree (mũkũyũ) tree". Hence Agĩkũyũ in the Kikuyu language translates to "children of the olive tree". Normally lots of people confuse mũkũyũ tree and refer to it us sycamore fig while in actuality the Mũgumo tree is the Fig tree. The alternative name Nyũmba ya Mũmbi translates to House of the Potter or Creator. Agĩkũyũ can also be a shortened form of Mũũgĩ (wise) kũrĩ (than) ũyũ (him/her), hence "one who is wise to others".
