The name itself has little to do with the people who inhabit this large, east-African country. A Google search yields mixed messages about the origins of the word “Ethiopia”, but most come to common ground that the word was given by the ancient Greeks to describe area below Egypt on the African continent, and refers to the “burnt-skinned” people who lived across the continent in places we now refer to as Ethiopia, Eritrea, Sudan, Somalia, Yemen and beyond.
