"Dabo" is a name we made up, but there are lots of other "dabo" usages around the world. Here are a few:
- Several languages:
- In Latin "dabo" means I will give (to you), so it's very appropriate.
- In Amharic (a semitic language primarily spoken in Ethiopia) it means bread. Here's a recipe. (dabo is developer's daily bread.)
- In Aramaic (another semitic language and Jesus' mother tongue) it means gold. (Of course dabo is gold!)
- Several Persons (dabo sports fair play!):
- French footballer (soccer player) Ousmane Dabo
- Another French footballer, Mouhamadou Dabo
- Another footballer, this time from Mali: Cheikh Oumar Dabo
- Clemson University coach Dabo Swinney
