All of North Africa west of Egypt is Al-Maghrib, which simply means "west" in Arabic. It was never Morocco's exclusive name.

Some of what is in the OP is wrong/misleading.

Kindly bring out the wrong/misleading aspects of the post and correct. To say something is wrong without bringing out solution is worse.

Kinyarwanda was never the name of the country called Rwanda. Kinyarwanda was and remains the name of the language that Rwandans speak.

Nawodo and Onawero have nothing at all to do with Namibia. Nawodo and Onawero were the old names of the island of Nauru, which is in the Pacific Ocean, nowhere near Namibia.

All right.
