Makena (Kenya) is a name that is mistakenly identified as having its origins from the Kikuyu community but originally has its origin from the Ameru (Meru) community. The Ameru (Meru) community name their children after the traits of the individual whom the child is named after, with the hope that the traits will be passed on to the new bearer of the name. The name Makena therefore means "one who is happy or brings happiness" to the family and community.
