ArchivesRe: Andalucia
in reply to a message by Anneza
I think he or she means some kind of folk etymology, based on the two common Spanish words that you can see in "Andalucia" if you like to do so: "andar" (walk) and "luz" (light).
Just slip a "spiritual" in there for good measure, and presto: "Walk into spiritual light".

I fear you're right! Whatever it is, it isn't etymology.

It might be Arabic or Gothic...

...but at least it's not Spanish from the beginning.
