* Addis Ababa translates to "new flower" in Amharic, the official language of Ethiopia. However, the name was inspired by the "Abbai" (meaning "father of waters" in Amharic) which is the name of the Blue Nile River.
* While the town itself isn't directly named after a wild goat-antelope, the Blue Nile River is known for its abundance of the "Abbai" (also known as "Gelada" in Amharic), a type of monkey with a distinctive mane. The Gelada is sometimes mistakenly referred to as a goat-antelope due to its appearance.
It's worth noting that there are other towns with names that might sound similar, like "Abbadia" in Italy, but they are not directly related to wild goat-antelope.
