According to Amharic, Addis Ababa means "fresh flowers" for Queen Tetu.

More than a hundred years ago, the place was a wilderness. Tetu, the wife of Menelick II, built a house next to the hot spring and allowed aristocrats to build a house here, which became the beginning of the city. Menelick II officially moved his capital here in 1887.

After World War II, the city entered a period of development. Today, Addis Ababa has become a prosperous modern city with wide and tidy streets and nearby high-rise office buildings and apartments.
