Unreferenced date December 2009 The place names of the Maghreb come from a variety of origins, mostly Arabic language Arabic and Berber language Berber , but including a few derived from Phoenician languages Phoenician , Latin , and several other languages. This is well illustrated by the three largest cities of Algeria , for instance Algiers from Arabic al jaz ir the islands , Oran from Wahran from berber wa iharan place of lions and Constantine, Algeria Constantine Arabic Qasantina from the Latin name of the emperor Constantine I of the Roman Empire Constantine . For a Phoenician name, one has to look a little harder, but take, for instance, Jijel , shortened from Latin Igilgili , from Phoenician i gilgilt Island of the Skull according to Lipinski. Given the fact that Arabs founded very few cities in the regions they conquerd, a large portion cities in so called Arab countries have non Arab etymologies. Many places however, have had there names changed and Arabized. Morocco, for instance, has only one Arab founded city, Fez. For that reason, a majority of the Moroccan towns have Berber names.
