The King (Omukama). One who is born during travel (Oyo), his Luo heritage tells us. The one who sings (Nyimba). A large spotted hyena or leopard (Kabamba). The sky or the heavens (Iguru). The one from the land of the Bakidi, the northerner (Rukidi), of Luo heritage. What a regal and powerful name befitting Rukirabasaija Omukama Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, as a person, and as exemplified by his reign. As an Africanist, I absolutely love his full name that is devoid of Anglo-Saxon rooted names.
