Morocco used to be part of the Roman Province of Mauretania Tingitana. When Morocco fell to the Islamic Caliphate, it was relabeled as the Maghreb, which means "the Western Region". The official name of Morocco in Arabic is still "Mamlakat al-Maghreb" or "The Kingdom of the Maghreb". The name "Morocco" came into Western languages from the capital city of Morocco under the Almoravids, Almohads, and Sa'adians: Marrakesh, which in Arabic is Morraksh.
