Dunama I

Muhammed Dunama bin Hummay I (1092-1150) was the king of the Kanem–Bornu Empire and a member of the Sayfawa dynasty.

[1][2] Dunama made the pilgrimage twice in his own right, each time leaving 300 slaves in Egypt as gifts for his hosts.

[2] All Sayfawa dynasty kings named Muhammad are also called Dunama (and vice versa).

The name likely came from a compound of Dun ("power" or "might" in Kanuri) and Aman (i.e, Ammon) the Berber god, according to historian H.R.
