Why is it called Madrid?

The name "Madrid" is believed to have originated from the Arabic Word "Magerit," which means "place of abundant water," due to the area's numerous rivers and streams. The city was founded in the 9th century by the Moors, and the name reflects its historical roots. Over time, the name evolved into "Madrid," which has been used since the Christian conquest in the 11th century. The city's rich history and cultural significance have contributed to the enduring use of the name.
