'Kallea' :[Kah-lee-ah]"Beauty".w(Greek), is one of the 5,000 wonderful new names in this great reference book. Exotic Names are drawn from research with native shcolars in over 40 languages to ensure accurate pronunciations and meanings. Their positive meanings make this a unique collection, particularly chosen for how they will sound as a first or second name. For in combination they blend for a deeper metaphor, examples, "Kallea Shanay' :[Kah-lee-ah Shah-nay]"Beauty Walks"w(Greek & Ixil Maya), for a girl, and 'Bronik Troen' :[Bruh-nihk Troo-ehn]"Armored Faith".m(Russian & Swedish), for a boy. The original names of some familiar ones are also given, such as, 'Elizabeth' was originally, 'Elisheva' :[El-lee-sheh-vah]"God is my Oath" 3D 'El:"God" + 'Sheva':"Promise"(Hebrew). All the names are listed in one singular alphabetical order, with gender designation symbols. This is to facilitate root words being the source of names for both girls and boys, such as, 'Dobrya & Dobren' :[Doh-bree-ah, Doh-brehn] or the familiar, 'Ariella & Ariel'. There is also a phonetic key, language locator, and cross-reference section in the Appendices, which is full of fascinating lists and useful information on languages.

Tribe of Mount Kenya:

The Kikuyu :[Kih-koo-yoo] are a tribe from Mount Kenya. They say that in the beginning, the Creator made the mountain as a sign of his wonders and as a resting place for himself. They call it 'Kere Nyaga':[Kair-ree Nee-yah-gah] or the 'Mountain of God' (Kereny#). Then a famous Seer named 'Cege Wa Kibiru':[Say-gay-wah-kih-beer-roo] predicted the coming of strangers who would look like white frogs, their dress like the wings of butterflies, and they would carry sticks that spit fire. He saw a huge Iron Snake (railroad) that belched smoke as it traveled across the land between the oceans. And his visions came to pass, for the Europeans eventually arrived and slurred the name 'Kilinya':[Kee-leen-yah] into 'Kenya'. Kilinya was the name given to the Mountain of God by the neighboring 'Kamba' :[Kahm-bah] Tribe whom lived at the base of the mountain.
