Wadamago () is a historic town in Aynabo District, in the Sool region of Somaliland.
== Etymology == The name Wadamago () stems from the phrase Wadaamo go', meaning wadaan breaker in Somali. A wadaan is a hand made bucket that is made up of animal skin and is a watertight round cylinder, with an open top that is attached to a semicircular carrying handle, which is also attached to a rope. Somali nomads grab the rope and drop the wadaan into a well to carry water.
