Namirembe is a hill in Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city. It is also a common name given to girls in several Baganda clans.[1][2] Namirembe comes from the Luganda word "mirembe" meaning peace.[3] Namirembe loosely translates into Full of Peace.[4][5] Legend has it that this hill was a gathering place for celebrating peace or war victories.[6]
