in reply to a message by amara moosa
Hi Amara Moosa,
this is what I found:
Kenya:
1) Hebrew: animal horn
2) American: from the African country Kenya. The country was named after the mountain of the same name. And this in turn derives its name from The Kikuyu, who refer to the mountain as Kirinyaga, or Kere-Nyaga ("Mountain of Whiteness"). Here's the link:

Aiyana:
Native American (don't know which language exactly...): eternal flower
I found an African name "Ayana" which means: beautiful flower. I don't know which African language that is...
Regards,
