Workneh
ወርቅነህ
Amharic for "you are gold", built on warq, "gold", with a suffix addressing a baby boy.
Meaning and origin
Workneh follows a well-established Amharic pattern in which a newborn is addressed directly, so the name itself is a short statement spoken to the child rather than a description of them.
