Rwenzori is a barely shortened form of Ruwenzori, a colonial mashup of two African names for the mountain range (Rwenjura and Rwenzururu).Rwenzori is a multi-peaked mountain range on the border of Uganda and Kongo. It contains the third highest peak in Africa, Ngaliema, misnamed Mount Stanley and renamed in 1972 back to Ngaliema, but Mount Stanley is still in wide use, or at least it has not been corrected in internet sources claiming to present current information and should know that they are not in this regards.
Rwenzori is one of the Mountains and Mountain Ranges called Mountains of the Moon, all of which are located in the vast garden of eden human birthplace in the Great Lakes Region of East Africa.

RU & RURU In Various Forms
a) Ru has been much discussed and is duplicated in the meanings of RuRu. Duplicated sounds, though still present in all languages, were more prominent in early speech. Sounds like fu-fu, ka-ka and ru-ru are common to humans and other animals. (NG1 252)b) Reru (abbreviated as Ru) is the door, circle, gate, mouth, outlet, entrance, uterus, birthplace, heaven, home, cave, hut, ark, egg, cell, seed, source, container, womb, tomb, cocoon, boundary, high way, the outlet for water and its contents. Thus Ruru (RU) is mother, child, children.
c) Through the Reru above and below, the birthplace of waters, drop by drop, trickles, streams, puddles, creeks, pools, ponds, lakes and oceans are formed. These meanings were created by observation and interaction with the natural world in the region of the great lakes. Akhen or Khen is the lake and Aru is the river All this in connection with Rem and Remming informs us about the rise of information that flows through streaming services and informs us of the invigorating called the Awakening. (BB2 612)d) RU-RU means to go, circuit, wheel and whirl round. The Mother is the Ruru as Goddess Rurit in the Hippopotamus Constellation. The son is the Ruru as Heru, the sun who goes round each day. (BB 177-1788)
e) Ru-Ru is the horizon, the place of two lions (Ruru-ers, roarers, loud-criers) who are a double-mouth, a dual mouth. (NG1 274-275) Ru is the mark and division. The horizon is one such division, dividing line, demarcation. (BB2 536), (AE1 41), (NG1 274). In an effort to restrain the powerful urge to scream and make a loud sound, we still acknowledge Ruru the mother and son when we use the exclamation, “for crying out loud!” Thus, through emulation and duplication, we become the loud-crier, the Ruru. There is so much more in everything we do.
f) Ru-Ru means companions, steps. In Egyptian, duplicated sounds are equal to the terminal (suffix) “TI”, thus the value two and therefore any word ending in TI indicates a plural and a duplicated sound. Thus RuRu is equal to RUTI, another word much discussed. (BB2 543)
Our desire to climb mountains, especially high mountains is our attempt to feel closer to God, to know what its like to take the steps (go through the process) to get that feeling of remming, of releasing potential within and transforming it into something else and roaring in elation and hearing the echo, a duplication of sound from ru to ru. This is being reborn and re-imagining self in a new dimension. This is what the Creator is experiencing through the spirit motions of creations, starting with the waters and the mount. Step by step is a duplication, a repetition, which is a basic principle of beingness, unfolding, becoming one again (science) that applies to all things.
h) The primary Ruru of the air is a white heron or ibis and is a type of moon god Taht or Tehuti. The primary Ruru of the waters is a hippopotamus or spotted sea-serpent. The primary Ruru of land is a lion and pig. The primary Ruru of heaven is a star constellation. (BB2 579), (AE1 41)
i) Rwenzori and her six peaks are like six teats. The Great Mother as Rurit, Menat and Keridwen are forms of the wet-nurse with several peaked mammae through which flow liquid essence and solid essence.j) Ruru is to shake and quake. Ru is the earthquake (NG1 273)
Khunsu as Khensu as Kensu as Wenzu in Rwenzururu
k) The composite elemental soul of life called God Khunsu is transformative in both moon and as Har-Khuti in the sun in order to restore Osiris back into Horus. Khunsu represents the dual light and dark lunation of the moon while Har-Khuti represents the black setting sun and white rising sun.l) The Ru sits atop (perches) on the letter “T” to form the combined ankh. “T” and the number four and the full circle. ”T” is a perch for the Ru and its symbol, the black and white Aahti bird (Ibis, Hebi or Heron Harbinger). The Aahti bird is a symbol of the moon and letter “A”.
m) Khunsu's power is to preserve, heal, charm, refine the precious thing, purify, save the child.
n) Like all souls of life, Khunsu (Wenzu) is an ever-coming one, a Messiah. This is basically why the natural world and its ecosystems continue on and on. One of his symbols, the pig, represents beauty, reproduction and plenty, which is the promise of the abundant producing power of spring.
In Khunsu is Khn which means to blow, puff, breathe, breath, air, wind.
4. Ruwenzori is a combination of Rwenzururu and Rwenjura that was made by British invader and white supremacist, H. M. Stanley.
a) Ruwenzori means “Lord of the Clouds”, “Cloud King” or “Rainmaker”. This is likely accurate (Names & Their Histories 256) and https://www.gutenberg.org/files/43655/43655-h/43655-h.htmAdditional Former & Current Names In Other African Languages

1. Gambaragara means “My Eyes Pain”, a reference to the shining snow on the mountain. This is likely a nickname. https://www.routesandboots.com/rwenzori-mountains.html
a) Gambaragara also means "the great leaf in which clouds are boiled”. This is likely a nickname. Google Search: Gambaragara -pain
b) Gambaragara means (approximately) ‘place of boiling clouds’. It is often translated as ‘rain maker’. Both names, ‘place of snow’ and ‘place of clouds’ refer to precipitation! This meaning might be close to accurate. https://www.volcanocafe.org/the-mountains-of-the-moon/
3. Birunga (Ibirunga, Virunga) means "volcanoes". There is also another high mountain range in Africa named Virguna as its primary name. Many mountains could be called Birunga since many are volcanoes.
