In medieval times, Casablanca was known as "Anfa." It was a small Berber settlement and later became a significant trading port. The name "Anfa" is often associated with its role in commerce and its strategic location along the Atlantic coast. The settlement was eventually abandoned in the 16th century before being rebuilt by the Portuguese, who named it "Casablanca," meaning "White House."
