Origin of the name/word Gondar
According to Maragoli's preserved history, the eldest son of a man called Maragoli or Murogoli was called Gonda, according to ancient history, Murogoli got married to his wife Khaliyesa in Aksuma while migrating down to Kitara Uganda alongside Kuria, back then they were all known as AbaSuba, soba or Tsuba, so today we have the famous Gonda/Gondar clan which is sister clan to Asweta who are famously known for barter trade and farming.
