Etymology[edit] Anfa[edit] The name "Anfa" was used in maps until around 1830—in some until 1851—which Adam attributes to the tendency of cartographers to replicate previous maps.[6] Casablanca[edit] When Sultan Mohammed ben Abdallah (c. 1710 – 1790) rebuilt the city after its destruction in the earthquake of 1755, it was renamed "ad-Dār al-Bayda' " (الدار البيضاء The White House), though in vernacular use it was pronounced "Dar al-Baiḍā" (دار البيضاء House of the White).[6] During the French protectorate in Morocco, the name remained Casablanca (pronounced [kazablɑ̃ka]).
