Someone who knows anything about Ethiopian names?

I think most of these names are Amharic, but some may be from the Oromo language.

GIRLS: Besai, Azeb, Zenash, Susina, Hirut, Rediet, Hiwot, Tsegereda, Genet, Aster, Yelbe, Abebech
BOYS: Adissu, Yewbneh, Asfaw

Hope you can help me!

I do know that the children take the father's first name as their family name. We have friends where the father is Ayele Dagny. His father was named Dagny. The kids have Ayele as their last name and David, etc, as their first names. These people are Orthodox Christians, so there may be a different scheme in place for other people.
