Around the globe, Kenya (Kenya , ケンヤ , ケニア , among others...) is a common primarily girly, but scarcely masculine first name. The given name Kenya is characteristic of Latin America and the Caribbean, particularly Belize, where it is quite a common female name, Bahamas, and Nicaragua, where it is quite a rare feminine name. Measured by absolute frequency, the name is most common in the United States, Mexico, and Brazil. Likewise, Kenya is the last name as well as the forename.
Kenya is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Kenya Leavitt , the fictional Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures character, It Takes Guts and Kenya Misaki , the fictional character from That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.
