Nega Family History

Ethiopian: from the personal name Nega which is interpreted as ‘it became morning’ in the Amharic language.

— Note: Since Ethiopians do not have hereditary surnames this name was registered as such only after immigration of its bearers to the US.

Japanese: written 根賀 ‘root’ and ‘congratulations’ a rare name found in spots along the northwest coast of Honshū.
