1. Forgot to add Ceuta (‘Hepta Adelphoi’, Greek origin) and Melilla (‘Malila’, Roman origin), both in the African coastline.
2. This is based on the etymological origin of the *current* name of the provinces. That doesn’t mean that some of these places couldn’t have had other names in the past with a different etymology.
3. Burgos is wrongly marked as ‘Arabic’. It should be maybe ‘Gothic’ or ‘Germanic’.
etymological means origin
In case anyone else has to google it “Phoenicia was an ancient thalassocratic civilization originating in the Levant region of the eastern Mediterranean, primarily located in modern Lebanon.”

It must be the biggest empire i’ve never heard of and I’ve played Crusader Kings for about a decade now.
Wait doesn’t Burgos comes from old Germanic for “Burg” castle?
A province within a province …fucking crazy…
