Medina, originally known as Yathrib, was founded as a settlement in the 6th century CE. It became significant in 622 CE when the Prophet Muhammad and his followers migrated there from Mecca, marking the beginning of the Islamic calendar. Following this event, Yathrib was renamed Medina, meaning "City of the Prophet."
