I can talk to you about Awdal towns:

Boorama is an oromo name

Jaro horato - King and Queen of the oromos who used to rule, Jara was the King and horoto was the queen.

Halimlah - Oromo Queen's name

Zeylac- Arabic name

Lughaya - Somali, where the legs are restrained, it is the only coastal town in the red sea where you can actually have farms. Samaroon turned a hot coastal town into beeraley :lol:

Awdal - Adal

Tokhoshi - Allahu aclam

Xariirad - Waa xariirad dee

Baki - Allahu aclam
