Usage note

[edit | edit source]

Swahili given names are used in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda alike. The Luo and Kikuyu first names are also used in Kenya for their respective tribes.

Luo have three names: their first name, a personal surname, and their father’s personal surname. Many Luo surnames vary with gender (O- for males, A- for females). A man would be Otieno while a woman would be Atieno.
