Mumbi
Mũmbi is a mythological figure regarded as the mother of the Gĩkũyũ people. The word Mũmbi can be translated as "one who moulds". She was the wife of Gĩkũyũ, and ancestor to all the Agĩkũyũ people. The story of Gĩkũyũ and Mũmbi has been recorded by various writers throughout the Gĩkũyũ history; notable among them are Jomo Kenyatta, the first president of independent Kenya, Louis Leakey and the prolific Gĩkũyũ writer Gakaara wa Wanjaũ and another Gĩkũyũ writer known as Mathew Njoroge Kabetũ among many others. The name Mumbi comes from the Bantu root verb "BA",the same root word that gives rise to "UMBA".The prefix "Mu" is the Bantu noun classifier for nouns that have souls, like humans.The verb UMBA indicates the action of moulding, shaping, designing or creating. The suffix "i" replaces the terminal "a" in the Bantu language noun or verb to create the name for the performer of the action.Being derived from a Bantu root, the word Mumbi is also widely used by the Kamba ethnic community. Among the Kamba community the name carries the same meaning as among the Kikuyu's.

mumbi
Mumbi means unique, beautiful, wise, standing out, distinctive and so different from what has been heard or seen before, alluding to the old story in Bemba land Zambia, Central Africa of Mumbi Mukasa. Mumbi Mukasa was a story that was told in Bemba land as detailed above. This lady was found in the middle of nowhere in Chitimukulu area, Kasama/Mungwi. She was so beautiful that the Chief wanted her for a wife. When she was asked, she said in Bemba 'nine Mumbi Mukasa, mponenefye kumulu.' Meaning, 'I'm Mumbi Mukasa dropped from heaven.' So that's basically what MUMBI means.
