Which mountain name means shining mountain in Swahili?

Kilimanjaro means Shining Mountain in Swahili. It is the highest free-standing mountain rise in the world and the highest peak in Africa at 5895m above sea-level!CORRECTION: This contributor has read in several places that Kenya in the Kikuyu language means brightness, making Mt. Kenya the mountain of brightness or shining mountain.Kilimanjaro has no meaning in Swahili, although kilimameans little mountain, or hill. Njaro is not a Swahili word. The origin of the name Kilimanjaro has been discussed for more than 100 years and no one has yet found an acceptable answer, though it probably comes from the Chagga language.
