And:

Uganda comes from Buganda, and Buganda comes from Kaganda Rusiri who used to govern the place in the late 1300’s, the people in the areas used to be referred to as Kagandas little Men because of he friction between Bakitara and the people of the area, hence the name took shape.

Kaganda itself is a Chwezi coming from Kuganda meaning cool
