The Aja or Adja are an ethnic group native to south-western Benin and south-eastern Togo.
According to oral tradition, the Aja migrated to southern Benin in the 12th or 13th century from Tado on the Mono River, and c. 1600, three brothers, Kokpon, Do-Aklin, and Te-Agbanlin, split the ruling of the region then occupied by the Aja amongst themselves: Kokpon took the capital city of Great Ardra, reigning over the Allada kingdom; Do-Aklin founded Abomey, which would become capital of the Kingdom of Dahomey; and Te-Agbanlin founded Little Ardra, also known as Ajatche, later called Porto Novo by Portuguese traders and the current capital city of Benin.The Aja speak a language known as Aja-Gbe, or simply 'Aja'. Only 1-5% are literate in their native tongue. According to one source, voodoo originated from the Aja.
