摘要：This short commentary on citation of Ethiopian names in the literature was first written as a response to a query I received from an Ethiopian graduate student in Germany in 2009. Having noticed that only so few of the Ethiopian names that he knew were correctly portrayed in the scientific literature, i.e., some use their full names (given name attached to father’s name), most use (or are forced to use) their fathers’s or grandfather’s name as surname, and also having noticed the small note on my home page, the student asked about the “correct way” of citing Ethiopian names in the scientific literature. A reply was duly sent and a short note about it was also published on the “AddisArt and Culture” website. Since this website is not functional at the moment, I am also now posting it on this website, after making some revisions, to serve the broader community of authors, editors, publishers, readers, etc.
