Werji people

The Werji (Oromo: Warjii, Amharic: ወርጂ, Arabic: ورجي‎ [wɔrdʒi]), fully known as the Tigri-Werji, are an ethnic group inhabiting Ethiopia. The prefix for their traditional name, Tigri, comes from the word Tijaari, which is an adjective in the Arabic language that literally translates to "merchant." Their tribal name Werji is eponymous with the name of their ancestral homeland. Thus, Tigri-Werji essentially means "merchant of Werji."
