Non-Arabic names for Morocco and other Maghrebi states

[Max Sinister]

Like the city? Strange.

BTW, in basileus' Interference TL, Tunisia is named Ifriqiya.

Amazigh names that are used today:
Amaruk = Morocco
Dzayer = Algeria

A vandal country would be probably called Windalya in arabic.

Morocco in Turkish is called Fas and in Farsi Marrakesh.

I'm pretty sure that 'Dzayer' comes from Arabic al-Jazair

I'm pretty sure that 'Dzayer' comes from Arabic al-Jazair

Plus "Amaruk" looks like it's derived from the same source as English Morocco (Marrakesh), which I guess is technically Berber in origin.

Fulanistan, if the OTL Fula tribes migrated north.

They already lived (and are still present) to some degree in OTL Mauritania, but the land was mostly too poor to utterly nonexistent in its capability to support the Fulani lifestyle. So unless the Fulani take up camel herding, they won't be going any further north.

You could say that it's a hybrid.

As for Mauretania, I think during the rule of moroccan dynasties it was called Shanguet. But I'm not really sure.

There were eight known Berber-Roman kingdoms in Late Antiquity. They were the following: Altava, Ouarsenis, Hodna, Aures, Nemenchas, Capsa, Dorsale and Cabaon. Perhaps if they lasted long enough, the names of the kingdoms would be the names of the regions. Or you can base them off the larger and more prominent episcocal sees for more originality.
