About the Hausa surname

Hausa people of Africa,called Al-Hausa in Arabic ,may primarily be descended from A'al-Awassha-Ha ,
one of the four sons of A-Wa-ye-Na ,son of Awa-Pat ,survivor of the deluge according to the Byble ,
after whom Aigypt ,as Awige-Upt and its Copt people might have been named .

The rest of the four were Ad-Aya-Da-Nawam-Ma ,likely ancestor of Nomad or Numida tribes of North Africa ,
believed to be the ancestor of those today called Berber ,and Et-Terra-Shawash-She ,who might have been
recorded as Sesostris in the antique sources and may be the forefather of the early dynastic Aigyptians ,
as it is stated .
The languages of these peoples are also thought to be closely related .
The fourth one was KTWM ,believed to be the ancestor of the people of Kypros,in the antiquity .
It could be read as A-Ked-Te-Wa(n)-Ma ,and his offspring may be the people called Makedontes .

The name of Awayena corresponds also to that of the planet Venus ,and of the "goddess" Venus ,who was
also called Aphrodité ,by Helléns,apparently because his descendants lived in Africa,the Apher countries ,
or because the latter was named after him .
YWNW ,the principal city of Aigypt ,though Héliopolis in Greek ,might also be named after him ,as A-Ye(n)-Wa-Na-Wa .
This is also the name Aino people of Japan bears ,in the form A-ye-Na-Wa ,some of whom thus may be of
Copt-Aigyptian relations .
They are also called Kushi ,similarly to the Nubian kingdom of Kush ,the capital of which was Saba,
and as the queen of Saba in the XIst century BC was believed to be called Makeda too ,they may also
be of Makedonian origin ,in some sense .
Japan was called in the antiquity Kypros ,the land of Aphrodité too,that is that of the Ainu ,sons of A-Wa-ye-Na .
They are believed to have formerly lived in Australia ,where there were Aigyptian rock inscriptions found ,
too ,and which might have been the original homeland of all of these peoples ,which might have been called
Terra An-Astella-Wa in the antique Aigypt ,which means Land Of Spirits .
It might be called Australia also for A'al-Awassha-Ha and his brother Et-Terra-Shawash-She ,
as Awassha-Terra-A'al ,of course later being reinterpreted in Latin .
From there they might have moved to Malayan regions ,for what the Nile Valley was later also called Terra Malaya ,
commemorating their previous homeland .
Another name for it was Ake-Ma-Ta ,which cpould have been interpreted in the same way as Aigypt in Hellén ,
Goat-Eye ,and may be the place Maketa tribe of Hellás originates .

Much later ,as the sons of Awas-Sharra-'Ale had descended from the Holy Land of America ,a son was born among
them to A'as-Sharra ,one of the forefathers of the twelve basic tribes ,whose name was A-Was-Sha-ya-Ha .
He may be another of the Hausa ancestors of more recent times ,who might have been named so because of
having some connections to the already existing Aigyptian Hausas .
His alternative name was E-Wa-Ter-Ra ,after which Etruria may be named .
Sharra namely was the ancient name of the city of Tyr(os) ,where Tyrrhén and Tyrsén peoples of Saturnia
might have come from .
A'as-Sharra was known in Celtic traditions as Easru ,son of Sru .
