Black People : Origin of the Term Moor?

One more thing...there are many variations of this word as names suc as Amauri, Mory (As in Mory Kante) and Omari. In fact if one replaces the A in these names with an O it means "Son of" (as it does in scotch/irish who got this from Kemet, according to Irish Pedigrees). So, "Amery" would mean Son of Mery.
Sound confusing? Thats one reason genealogy research is of importance.

Here is another explanation.

If accepting this premise the word comes from "Mahur" meaning "the western lands" or "of the western lands" we must be careful because it could actually refer to...

One more thing...lol.

There are locations in India such as Mahur and the Mor River.

These are Eastern "Ethiopians" or what was referred by some as "Ethiopian Moors". Not all "Moors" were Berbers or Arab speaking people. So in terms of "language" these people spoke many languages and numerous dialects.

Hm...we need to get away from these modern references.

See...How Black Egyptians Crossed the Ethiopian Ocean.

it was my understanding that the term Moor delineated Africans from northern Alkebulan/Africa, beginning from where Libya is today, over to what was anciently named Indus Cush. Upon their traveling they latered spread north into spain and the what is now classified as the middle east. As far as language goes, I believe they were at the forefront of developing the Hebraic language which they created in order to get all countries speaking a similar tongue in hopes to make communication and trading easier...hence the mathematical format for the Hebrew language. I could be off but I think this is pretty accurate. If anyone sees any inconsistencies please expound because I would actually like to know the answer to this question.
 
From my readings, I understand that the word Moor is a british word short for Blackamoor. which was dirift from the spanish word Morro. which means muslum. blackamoor means black muslum, from the reagion of northwest Africa. It was a general term, and not ever to mean any group in specific. Moors or Morros were not all from one racial group or culture. but all had converted to islam.
