The old name of Addis Ababa was "Finfinne," which means "natural spring" in the Oromo language. The city was founded in the late 19th century by Emperor Menelik II and was later renamed Addis Ababa, meaning "new flower" in Amharic. The name change reflected the city's development and significance as the capital of Ethiopia.
