Addis Ababa
Although the area that would be called Addis Ababa was already of massive significance to the Ethiopian kingdom since the 15th century, “Addis Ababa” was created in the 19th century.
Emperor Menelik II and his wife Taytu Betul created the city in order that they will administer their kingdom from there. The city’s name means “new flower” in Amharic.
