ADAMARA, in Geography, a district of Abyssinia, near the province of Waldebba, containing several considerable villages, that are inhabited by Mahometans; who by their number and strength contribute to the safety of the monks in that part of the country. It is so called from Adama, which in the Amharic dialect signifies pleasant, the name of an adjacent mountain. The river Anzo runs in a contiguous valley. (Bruce's Travels, 4to, vol. iii. p. 179.).
