Apart from the main tarmacked road passing through, how does the town look like, you would have veered off into the town to make us have a feel of the town. Or is it just a trailer town like Kikopey, Salgaa, etc...

When masaai herders were doing their pastoralisim from narok, suswa towards the central regions in 1887 they got a challenge climbing the escarpment and named the are mei meyu meaning impossible coz the area was impassable and years later when kikuyus came to the area and were told the name they pronounced it as mai mahiu

 Maai Mahiu is a town in Kenya's Nakuru County. The name means "hot water" in native Kikuyu, but another derivative could be "me'imayu", meaning impassable in Maasai. This I heard on Kameme Radio this AM and at a point of interest I googled and found this. So the original name was in maasai but then wevas kikuyus we know how to name according to our understanding 😅
@andrewsaruni9890

No hot springs, mai mahiu is derived from a maa word 'meimayiu', meaning impassable. From the difficulty during old days to scale the steep escapement

 Maai Mahiu is a town in Kenya's Nakuru County. The name means "hot water" in native Kikuyu, but another derivative could be "me'imayu", meaning impassable in Maasai. This is on Google. We as kikuyus knows how to call things according to our prronounsation to make it easy. 😅

@mutarinjoshua9592
@mutarinjoshua9592 5 месяцев назад
Between Mahi mahiu ( hot water by kikuyu) and not accessible/ passable translation from maasai ), who do you think named the place. For me i can say Maasai because the place is totally inaccessible because of hills.
