Addis Ababa is the capital of ETHIOPIA and is located in the East African country. It is the largest city in ETHIOPIA with a population of over 3 million people. The term 'Addis Ababa' can be broken down into three parts: 'Addis' (9 letters), 'ABA' (3 letters), and 'BA' (8 letters). 'Addis' is derived from the Amharic language and means 'NEW'. 'ABA' is an acronym for the Amharic phrase 'Alem Bekagn', which translates to 'the throne of the King'. Finally, 'BA' stands for 'BOLE', which is the name of the district in which Addis Ababa is located. Together, these three terms form the name of the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa.
