Ouedraogo (also spelled Wedraogo or Ouidiraogo) was the son of Yennenga and progenitor of the Mossi Kingdoms. He founded the kingdom of Tenkodogo. His three sons were Rawa, Diaba Lompo, and Zoungourana.
== Etymology == His name is sometimes transcribed as Wed Raogo, Wedraogo or Ouidiraogo. It means “The Stallion” or “male horse” in the local language; which constitutes, among other things according to Jean-Louis Gouraud, a tribute to the animal that Yennenga was riding when she met her father. His people nickname him “Zungrana” (from “zugu”, head, and “rana”, master).
