hi could u explain the etymology behind arabic geographical terms (magrheb, sham, sudan)

hi, sorry for the late reply.

al- maghreb ( المغرب ) means where the sun sets. Morocco was the furthest point where Arabs could see the sunset so this is why  morocco is named Maghreb in Arabic. But, in english and also in Arabic ( al-maghreb al- arabi), it means the north african region ( Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco and Mauritania). We can also say al- Machraq ( المشرق) al-arabi as opposed to al- mghreb, and it refers to the middle eastern region.

Shem / Sham ( شام) is derived from the name Sem, one of the three sons of Noah ( the believed father of semitic people). it is said that he used to live there, in the laventine. the name was altered from Sem to Shem through the years.

Sudan ( سودان ) has a persian and Arabic origin. it means black people in both languages.

There’s no happy ending with me.
