Maghreb placename etymology The place names of the Maghreb come from a variety of origins, mostly Arabic and Berber, but including a few derived from Phoenician, Latin, and several other languages. This is well illustrated by the three largest cities of Algeria, for instance: Algiers from Arabic "al-jazā'ir" "the islands", Oran from "wahran" from Berber "wa-iharan" "place of lions" and Constantine (Arabic "Qasantina" قسنطينة) from the Latin name of the emperor Constantine. Phoenician names include Jijel, shortened from Latin "Igilgili", from Phoenician "i gilgilt" "Island of the Skull" (according to Lipinski), and Carthage, ultimately from Punic "qrt-ḥdšt" (𐤒𐤓𐤕 𐤇𐤃𐤔𐤕) "new city."
