Kiptere
Kiptere is a village located approximately 25 Kilometres from Kericho town in the Rift Valley Province of Kenya. It is a village inhabited by the Kipsigis speaking people of the Kalenjin Tribe. Kiptere comes from the word "Teret" which is a Kipsigis word for "clay pots". The Kipsigis people named places after dominant geographical features, abundant flora or fauna, or prominent inhabitants. It appears Kiptere came about as the area was well known for pot making.
