Amhara (also known as Bet Amhara, "The house of Amhara") was the name of a medieval province of Ethiopia, located in present day Amhara Region, and the pre-1996 province of Wollo. It was located south of Wag and Lasta and gave its name to the Amharic language, which in turn gave its name to the Amhara people.
