The Greek name Αἰθιοπία (from , ''Aithiops'', "an Ethiopian") is a compound word, derived from the two Greek words, from  +  (''aithō'' "I burn" + ''ōps'' "face"). According to the Liddell-Scott Jones Greek-English Lexicon, the designation properly translates as ''Burnt-face'' in noun form and ''red-brown'' in adjectival form. The historian Herodotus used the appellation to denote those parts of Africa South of the Sahara that were then known within the Ecumene (inhabitable world). Since the Greeks understood the term as "dark-faced," they divided the Ethiopians into two, those in Africa and those to the east from eastern Turkey to India. However, the Greek formation may be a folk etymology for the Ancient Egyptian term ''athtiu-abu'', which means 'robbers of hearts'. This Greek name was borrowed into Amharic as ኢትዮጵያ, ''ʾĪtyōṗṗyā''.
