Etymology

Morocco comes from the old city name Marrakesh, a name that Spanish and Portuguese speakers used for the whole country. In Arabic the land is also called al-Maghrib, meaning 'the west', so thinking of the famous city Marrakesh and the idea of 'the west' helps you remember why the country is called Morocco.
