From Arabicمَرَّاكُش(marrākuš). First documented in the Cid. The Arabic form was adapted into local Romance in a shape like /maˈrɔkos/, with /ɔ/ rendering an Arabic or similar (cf. Old CatalanMarrocs, Old Galician-PortugueseMarrocos). It seems that en route to Castille it was “translated” into /maˈru͡ekos/ according to the cross-dialectal correspondence /ɔ/ ⇔ /u͡e/ (as in Portuguese forte ⇔ Spanish fuerte).
