Etymology nb, based on nb pt Moçambique Mozambique. The Portuguese name was first applied to the Island of Mozambique and its settlement and was later extended to the surrounding colonial territory and ultimately to the modern country. The island's name is generally traced to a local Arab ruler encountered by the Portuguese in the late 15th century, whose name is recorded in varying forms such as Ali Musa Mbiki, Mussa Ben-Bique and Mussa Al-Mbique. The identifiable given-name element ar مُوسَى Moses; Musa is from Classical Syriac syc ܡܘܼܫܹܐ Moses, from Biblical Hebrew hbo מֹשֶׁה Moses. The deeper origin of the Hebrew name is uncertain, and the origin and exact form of the remaining Mbiki/Bique element are unclear.
