Agawmeder

Agawmeder was a historical region in the northwestern part of Ethiopia. Its most likely etymology is from Agew, a people living in the area, plus meder, thus meaning "Land of the Agaw". The western neighbor of Gojjam, it was located where the Agew [Awi Zone] now lies.

History

Not much is known about Agawmeder, as much of its existence was marked by Ethiopian isolation from the remainder of the world.
