ArchivesRe: Ejigayehu?
in reply to a message by clevelandkentevans
Agreed - it seems a fairly popular Ethiopian name, why wouldn't it be Amharic?
Can't confirm for sure as I have no knowledge of Ge'ez script or Amharic, but this page on Ethiopian names gives the meaning as 'I saw much':

and another page on wikipedia for the name Alemayehu gives a translation of 'ayehu' as 'I have seen', as some corroboration:
