Re: Meaning of the name Andalusia?
in reply to a message by Lu
well well well like some people before me said andalusia is the name the arabs gave to iberia although what al andalus or andalusia means in arabic it means the garden or basically a fertile green land also the arabs called heaven "al andalus" but ofc there are other names for heaven too in arabic tho al andalus is one of them and to reason for arabs giving iberia the name al anadlus its because the arabs had never conquered nor seen such a green and fertile lands before so they gave it this name al andalsu
