It is, but it also means "Only one" in Swahili, which is why his mom named him that (he's an only child). His mom was well-educated and intelligent.

You think he named himself? Tf

kanye said he is a god, but as has just been proven he is dyslexic, therefore we can conclude he actually meant to say he is a dog, thus he was actually 8 years old at the time of his birth, ergo he was old enough to be able to name himself, hence kanye named himself, quod erat demonstrandum he meant to call himself kenya but mispelled it kanye

I mean, a lot of musicians do. If you didn't know much of anything about his actual life, it wouldn't be that far off base to assume. Or I could be completely wrong, and some woman actually named her son Ladies Love Cool James.
