[Facts] name MAKENA or Makeyna?
Origin of the name MAKENA. Etymology of the name MAKENA. Meaning of the baby name MAKENA.  MAKENA.  African Kikuyu name meaning "the happy one."     While the girls were howling with laughter with the wise cracks or the awkwardness that accompanied most of the introduction, she had sat quietly, hunched over her desk.  She looked unwell.  With her face down, the girl said in a small voice, "My name is Makena."    "Great name!" said Ms. Sashi.  She knew that "Makena" meant The Happy One in Kikuyu.  Unfortunately, the girl did not look very happy. (Gathuo) Is Makeyna only a surname?
