==Etymology== According to E. H. Palmer, the name Marub comes from abounding in water. It has been suggested that the name Maaroub means a "land of great abundance and goodness." It has been also suggested that it means that it is perfect land for agriculture where the agriculture of olive, tobacco, wheat and figs flourish.
