About the Oro surname

Oro was the name of one of the tribes who accompanied Manko Inka - identical with Mari Diatta , king of Mali called Mithridat in antique sources - on hius campaign to conquer Peru .

The origin of the tribe might have been at some point in the region of Somalia ,and Oro tribe among Rendille peoples - among them Inkabelo ind Inkoria ( Inka-Oria ) - may be their successors , whether of those having stayed or of some having returned later to Africa . Just so may be the case with Bororo ,that is Boro-Oro people both in Africa - including Fulbhe nobility descended from Fuurlaba - and in America ,in Bolivia and Brazil .

Kuriminaka ( Kurumi-Inaka ) tribe among the latters may even be descended from the Inca himself .

Manko was known in Somalia as Samaale Osmaan - and Kale'aba in Arabia,and Kaleva Osmo in Suomala - ,and Rendille tribe is descended from his great-great-grandson, Rendille,son of Oro-Le ,who must have been the chief of Oro people then . Rensille's son was Rengomo ,father of Ongon ,who might have issued Ugorongmo ( Ongon-Rengumo ? ) tribe mixed with Catribbeans . Ri'ele tribe on the other hand,living with the rest of Rendille ,may be descended from Riyaale , a great-grandson of one of Samaale's sons ,called Gardheere . Riyaale's descendants were Adole ,father of Kalmassa,who may be the ancestors of Adole and Massakali tribes in America . Matan was perhaps the chief of Matanawi people also in Amazonia .

Oro-Rebate on the other hand were neighboured to Moro-Toco and other related tribes , who might have come from the mythical Mara(s)-Tocco together with Manko and the Oros . It might have been somewhere in antique Mauria,the home of "Moros" ,near the town of Rabat , perhaps founded by Atreba tribe of Gallia . Mosca people were also in the Inca's company ,and they might be succeeded by Mosca or Mosquito, whose language seems to be quite similar to Angash dialects spoken arounde lake Tchad .

First Oros though may be descended from Awa-'E-Warra son of A-Shek.Ga-ya-Ba .
