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 hard is it to learn amharic?
To be honest Amharic is a very difficult language especially if you are not from there i am an Ethiopian that lives in Ethiopia but it is still a very hard language even for me! I went to an international school so i learned English from a young age and am a fluent speaker in English although i am an Ethiopian English still comes much more naturally to me. Spoken Amharic is much more easier that writing and reading. Reading and writing in Amharic is one of the hardest things i have ever learned i still have a very hard time reading and it takes me like 20 seconds to read 1 word so reading books in Amharic is out of the question. But if you insisnt on learing it the best way is come to Ethiopia for 6 months and just live here and I'm sure you will learn it much faster than sitting in a class room.

What did the Ethiopian Eunich learn from Phillip?
At Acts 8:26-36, God's holy spirit told Phillip to run alongside the Ethiopian Eunuch's chariot. [The Eunuch was a person of power in Queen Candace's court and was a Jewish proselyte, (he was a non-Jewish worshiper of Jehovah God). He'd gone to Jerusalem to worship at the temple and was returning home.] Philip ran alongside and heard him reading aloud Isaiah the prophet, and he said: "Do you actually know what you are reading?" The Eunuch said: "Really, how could I ever do so, unless someone guided me?"And he entreated Philip to get on and sit down with him". In answer the eunuch said to Philip: "I beg you, about whom does the prophet say this? About himself or about some other man?" Philip opened his mouth and, starting with this Scripture, he declared to him the good news about Jesus". (Isaiah prophesied 'Christ would remain silent before those who would put him to death and that he would die a painful death''. Isaiah 53:3-8). This Ethiopian Eunuch only knew the Old Testament. He needed to be taught how Christ Jesus fulfilled the prophecies of the 'Messiah' and had given his life for mankind. The New Testament hadn't even been written down yet, so all of Jesus Christ's disciples had been taught to preach door-to-doorand house to house, (Matthew 24:14, Matthew 28:19&20 and Acts 20:20), or 'road to road'as Phillip did then and as all faithful Christians do today. Everyone on Earth must have the chance to hear the good news about God's Kingdom, with Christ as our King, and to gain everlasting life!!
