Fikadu

Fikadu is an Ethiopian given name, predominantly male. It originates from the Amharic language, the official language of Ethiopia.

The meaning of Fikadu translates roughly to "my desire" or "my wish" in English. It expresses a sense of longing or fulfillment of a wish on the part of the parents at the time of the child's birth. As with many Ethiopian names, it carries significant cultural and emotional weight, reflecting the parents' hopes and aspirations for their child's future.

The name is relatively common in Ethiopia, particularly among Amharic speakers. It can also be found among members of the Ethiopian diaspora worldwide. Spelling variations may occur due to transliteration differences between Amharic script (Fidel) and the Latin alphabet.
