The Worji (Oromo: Warjiih; Ge’ez: ወርጂ; Arabic: ورجي [wɔrdʒi]) fully known as the Tigri-Worji are an ethnic group inhabiting Ethiopia. The prefix for their traditional name Tigri comes from the word Tijaari which is an adjectival in the Arabic language that literally translates to merchant. Their tribal name Worji is eponymous with the name of their ancestral homeland. Thus Tigri Werji essentially means merchant of Werji.
