Makeda is the Ethiopian tradition's name for the Queen of Sheba — the biblical queen who visited King Solomon (1 Kings 10).
Makeda is widely used in Ethiopian and African American communities.
Makeda does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Makeda reduce to 8, The Visionary. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
