Etymology: < scientific Latin Madoqua < Amharic mĕdaqqwa. N.E.D. (1904) gives the pronunciation as (mæ·dokwă) /ˈmædokwə/; pronunciations with stress on the first syllable are similarly given in Cent. Dict. (1889) and Webster's (1890, 1900, 1934).

Originally: a tiny dik-dik, Madoqua saltiana (formerly Antilope saltiana), of Ethiopia and other parts of eastern Africa. Now (usually) (in form Madoqua): the genus comprising the dik-diks.Valid publication of the genus name: W. Ogilby 1837, in Proc. Zool. Soc. 4 137.
