'''''Abouna''''' (also spelled '''''abuna''''' or '''''aboona''''') is an Arabic word literally meaning "our father." It is distinguished from the ''Abbana'' which begins the [[Lord's Prayer]], which has the same literal meaning but is used to refer only to God. ''Abouna'' is a term used to address [[priest]]s.
''Abouna'' is also the title for the [[patriarch]] of the [[Oriental Orthodox]] [[Church of Ethiopia]].
