Etymology 1

[edit]
Gibraltar (sense 1).

From Spanish Gibraltar, from Arabic جَبَل طَارِق (jabal ṭāriq, Mount Tariq), named after Tariq ibn Ziyad, who led the Umayyad conquest of Hispania, starting in 711. Replaced earlier Latin Mons Calpe (Mount Calpe) for the land, and Columnae Herculis, from Ancient Greek Ἡράκλειαι στῆλαι (Hērákleiai stêlai, Pillars of Hercules), for the strait.

The barangay in Baguio, Philippines is named by a German national "Jonathan Speth" after the Rock of Gibraltar in Europe. He lived and died in the barangay.[1]
