Where it comes from

Uncertain. Possibly from a Zenaga, or a Zenaga-like form related to Tashelhit rks (“to be hidden, to hide”).

The popular etymology from ⴰⵎⵓⵔ ⵏ ⴰⴽⵓⵛ (amur n akuc, literally “Land of God”) likely reflects folk etymology, since neither ⴰⵎⵓⵔ (amur) nor ⴰⴽⵓⵛ (akuc) are attested in Berber languages of the area.

proper noun مُرَّاكُش · مَرَّاكُش · murrākuš · marrākuš · -

Marrakech (the capital city of the Marrakesh-Safi region, Morocco)
historical Morocco (a country in North Africa)
Similar: الْمَغْرِب
