How did Ethiopia get their name?

The x king of Ethiopia, namely Hailesilase named it. It is believed that the name " Ethiopia" was derived from greek word. As far as history of the king is concerned, he was a very brutal, killer and abused many people mainly, oromo people. When he was in power the king destroyed the oromo cultures, identity and murdered millions of people, also he used most people as slaves. This is mainly one of the main reason for contradiction of the name "Ethiopia". Some researches have suggested that most people in Ethiopia seemed to agree with the name. However, nearly half the population of the ethiopian people, oromo people are strogly disagree with the name "Ethiopia". This is partly because of they were origion of the ethiopian people; and are the majority in the country, therefore, should be named as Oromiyaa. The abesha, absiniya people where Haile-Silase belongs seemed to happy with the name as he had demostrated most of habesha cultures over the oromia. The domestic political issue, Ethiopia has been experiencing is probably due to the killing/ murdering, destroying the identity of the Oromo people.

How many oromo people are in Ethiopia?

As to the recent statistical agency of Ethiopia, and estimated one third of the total population of the country(80M) is Oromo, but their data aren't reliable because as the government uses the statistical data for budget planning, it underestimates & for example the population of Tigray is overestimated to about 7M, just to allocate more budget for them, in reality it's below this figure. Somali is in fourth place, but in reality Somali should be in third place, next to Amhara. Oromo is the large ethnic group in the country.
