History
Tingi (modern Tangier) began as a Carthaginian colony of the early 5th century BC. A commercial center, Tingi came under the Roman sphere in the first century BC, initially as a free city but later as the site of a colony (Colonia Julia) under Claudius and the capital of Mauritania Tingitana.

The Barrington Atlas Directory notes: Tangier. There are discrepant readings of the origins of the ancient name Tingis. Some suggest a Berber origin, while some Greek sources claimed that the name derived from that of a daughter of the Titan Atlas.
