Igodomigodo is the historical first name of the now fallen Benin Empire, as called by its own inhabitants (nowadays known as the Edo people of Nigeria). According to oral history of the Edo, Igodomigodo〔http://www.worldstatesmen.org/Nigeria_native.html〕 was the name of the kingdom as given by Igodo, the first ''ogiso'' (King). The ''ogiso'' era, started by Igodo, would be the first dynasty of what would later be known as the Benin Empire (which itself existed from around 1180 until 1897 in the area of the present-day Federal Republic of Nigeria (and remarkably not in the area of the unrelated, current Republic of Benin). The ''ogiso'' era would be replaced by the ''oba'' era, and the name of the kingdom would be changed from Igodomigodo to Edo by Oba Eweka I (see Oba of Benin).〔http://www.worldstatesmen.org/Nigeria_native.html〕 Replacing the era of the ''ogiso'', the ''oba'' dynasty was founded by Eweka I, the first Oba (and grandchild of the last ''ogiso''). Eweka I renamed his empire Edo, and its people have been since then called Edo people (or ''ovi-edo'', which means "childr(en) of Edo"). The current Oba, Erediauwa I, is the 39th Oba of the dynasty ultimately started by Igodo of Igodomigodo. ==See also== * List of the Ogiso * Benin Empire 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Igodomigodo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
