If you are writing a fantasy story or science fiction, you will have to name your characters but also fantasize about organizations, religions, races, philosophies, planets, galaxies, nations, and just about anything else you invent!
I cannot fetch you all ethiopian names to use in your story, but my little guide may help you naming ideas, characters, places, and concepts.
1. One of the good ways to name something is to simply change one or two letters of a real or known ethiopian name to create something new which is still recognizable, simple, and memorable.
For example, Sarah could become Saral and so forth; the name Jonathan could be Jolothan.
Here are some ethiopian names examples you can try to change on your own:
Yeneneh Araya Ezkeiel
Abaynesh Teodros Afeworki
Wendimu Goliad Ephraim
Hiwet Eyob Zelalem
Abera Cherenebereck Yideg
Helena Jember Shale
Fikre Abdellahi Paulos
Mussie Danichew Merhawi
Yacobe Gebrehiwet Teshale
Mitiku Duri Roni
Biruh Bayissa Habtamu
Teka Zemichael Kahsu
Fesesework Zalelew Tewodros
Zenash Melkamu Ghidewon
Melkam Negasso Wedu
Amare Abeselome Israel
Nega Abate Nataye
Belendia Gebriael Beheilu
Jalene Tesfai Afework
Ezkeiel Bsrat Girma
2. Most often fantasy names are usually deeply rooted in the culture and language they come from, like ethiopian names.
For example, In Scottish, mac means “son of”. You may come up with some words that you use as prefix or suffix to convey some meaning and sprinkle it.
Check out these ethiopian name and try to put some prefix or suffix with them:
Bililign Amensisa Melesse
Teklu Gezaee Dereje
Araya Tadesse Assefa
Tamru Wubishet Amare
Asmerom Asmerom Israel
Teklile Susnios Fikre
Layla Kaleb Menas
Adanech Ketema Ezera
Ezkeiel Haider Berhanu
Fasika Darge Frayzer
Adinew Hadgu Debaleko

Obi Tewolde Motuma

Zemichael Taye Assefa
Sisay Noab Markos

3. Consider the prevailing beliefs; philosophical and religious beliefs of the character you are looking a name for.
For example, Christians name their kids after saints, as Paul and Mathew.
The following are some ethiopian names to help you out:
Sosinna Abdu Kelile
Seife Ezera Chirkos
Bisrat Daniel Hadgu

Addis Yideg Belai
Teklile Susnios Fikre
Mamo Beyne Teklile
Getachew Gedarm Kaleb
Welkite Robel Iyoas
Tinadem Ejigu Belaye
Zema Benti Asamenew
4. Robotic characters will not have names that are culturally related or derived.
They can be anything you choose to say, such as:
Dawit Afeworki Legesse
Abigel Sisay Leul
Hermona Maren Fassilidas
Mignote Berhe Beryihun
Selassiee Kidane Iyasu

Hakim Asmerom Ahungena
Kutre Ejigu Giday
Berhane Ayele Yideg
Beryihun Degife Habibi
5. If you are naming a place, rather than people, you should know that often places are named after people.
It is also common to name public buildings on the name of history heroes, people who made them, or some important personality who once visited them.
