Irob people The Irob people (Ge'ez: ኢሮብ "ʾirōb", also spelled Erob) are an ethnic group who occupy a predominantly highland, mountainous area by the same name in northeastern Tigray Region, Ethiopia. They speak the Saho language. The majority of them are Ethiopian Catholic, and they are largely agriculturalists. The etymology of the name Irob is debatable, but the elders of the Irob say that the term was derived from Saho word "Oroba", meaning "welcome to our house". The boundaries of Irobland are, to an extent, identical to the Irob woreda; both are bordered by the following areas: Dabri-Mela to the north, Hado to the east, the Afar Region to the east and south, Shoumezana and Gulomakeda to the west, and Saesi Tsaedaemba to the south. The first two neighbors are Saho speakers and predominantly Muslim, the third are Muslim Afars, and the others are Tigrigna-speaking Christians.
