Hadiya, also spelled as Hadiyya, is an ethnic group native to Ethiopia in Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples' Region who speak the Hadiyya language. According to a popular etymology, the name 'Hadiya," sometimes written in the versions Hadya, Hadea, Hadija, Hadiyo, Hadiyeh, Adea, Adia, means "gift of god" A historical definition of the Hadiya people based on the old Hadiya Sultanate included a number of Ethiopian ethnic groups currently known by other names. Currently, this historic entity is sub-divided into a number of ethnonyms, partly with different languages and cultural affiliations. They were initially all inhabitants of a single political entity, a Sultanate, which in the four centuries following its break-down fragmented into separate ethnic groups. The Leemo, Sooro, Shaashoogo, Baadawwaachcho and the Libido (Maräqo) remained a language entity and preserved an identity of oneness, the Hadiya proper; whereas Qabeena, Allaaba, and Silt'e people developed separate ethnic identities.
