Morocco, the Land of God.
morocco history on September 17th, 2007.
The word Morocco is directly derived from the Amazigh (language of the Imazighen people already long established in North Africa in 1000 B.C.) word Mur-Akush meaning Land of God.
The full Arabic name of Morocco, Al-Mamlaka al-Maghribiya, translates to “The Western Kingdom”.
Al Maghrib (meaning “The West”) is often used. Historians used to refer to as Al-Maghrib al Aq?á (”The Farthest West”), to avoid confusion with the region called the Maghreb. Morocco’s capital was originally Marrakech.
