This is a list of
Ethiopian aristocratic and
court titles used in Ethiopia until the end of the Monarchy in
1974.There were two categories of Ethiopia's nobility. The Mesafint (
Ge
ez መሳፊንት masāfint, modern mesāfint, singular መስፍን masfin, modern mesfin, "prince") or princes were the hereditary nobles, and formed the upper echelon of the ruling class as far as status. The Mekwanint (መኳንንት makʷānint, modern mekʷānint, sing. መኰንን makʷanin, modern mekʷenin or መኮንን mekonnen, "governor") were the appointed nobles, often of humble birth, who formed the bulk of the noble class. Until the 20th Century, the most powerful people at court were generally Mekwanint appointed by the monarch, while regionally the Mesafint enjoyed greater influence and power. Emperor
Haile Selassie greatly curtailed the power of the Mesafint to the benefit of the Mekwanint.
