Etymology
The word Andalusia comes from the Arabic name al-Andalus, used when Muslims ruled southern Spain. A helpful way to remember it is that some people link al-Andalus to the Vandal tribe, so you can think of it as 'land of the Vandals', and that is why Andalusia today names the southern region of Spain known for its Moorish culture.
