Etymology
Madrid likely comes from an old name meaning 'place of water', from Arabic Mayrit and the root mayy 'water', and from an earlier Latin matrice meaning 'mother' or 'source'. So think of Madrid as the 'mother' or 'source' of water, a city that grew by the river and that is why the name fits today.
