Umm Makeda was Ethiopian, their child was name Menelik
She wasn't. Sheba is a South Arabian kingdom: you're confusing with Saba, which was located in present-day Sudan and Eritrea and coincides with the Medjay territory (present day Beja territory) , who were also otherwise known as the Sabaoi by classical Greek historiography. Makeda was an Arabian, a Yemenite. Even a half-Jinn or quarter Jinn, according their legend: her mother or paternal grandmother was the twin sister of King Arwe, an ancient serpent-dragon.
It was a late medieval Ethiopian legend that didn't appear prior thr 14th century and was simply a Christianization of the Aksumite myth of Mehrem, the demigod child of a mortal ruler and the Goddess of Love Ashtar; we can even goes ages further and relies this upon the royal Kushite myth of Apedemek, the leonine demigod child of War born out of Sekhmet (an another iteration of Bast/Hathor) and a mortal man.
