The word "Algerian" derives from "Algeria," the country's name, which itself originates from the Arabic "al-Jazā’ir" (الجزائر), meaning "the islands." This refers to the small islands off the coast of Algiers, the capital. The suffix "-an" is borrowed from Latin "-anus," indicating belonging or relation (e.g., "Roman" → "Romanus"). Over time, "Algerian" evolved to describe anything pertaining to Algeria, its people, or culture.
