Best Answer

The name Ethiopia derived, from the Greek form, aithiopia, from the two words aitho, "I burn", and ops, "face". This is what we found in many websites but the exact meaning of ETHIOPIA comes from ADAM(the first man) 20 generation. There was a king called Gerara who have 3 son. We can find about this king in Genesis, who meet Abrham in valley and the elder son called Et-El the menaing of Et Means Gift El means God '' Gift From God''. Then God spirit order him to go to Gion(nile) River. As God order he moved to Gion and there were Yope(Pure Gold) in GION (nile River). Then he change his name to ET-EL to Ethiop that mean ''Gold Gift'' Then when we people called his territory they add YA, ''ETHIOPIA''
