About Ethiopia
The name "Ethiopia" is derived from the Greek word "Aithiopia," which means "burnt face" or "sunburnt complexion." It was used by the ancient Greeks to describe the people living south of Egypt, referring to their darker skin tone due to the region's proximity to the equator. Over time, the name became associated with the entire region and its inhabitants, eventually evolving into the modern-day country of Ethiopia.
