'Almohad' originates from Arabic, specifically the word 'الموحدون' (al-Muwaḥḥidūn), where 'al-' meant 'the' and 'muwaḥḥid' meant 'unifier'.

'الموحدون' transformed into the Spanish word 'Almohade,' and eventually became the modern English word 'Almohad'.

Initially, it meant 'unifiers of the faith', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a member of the Almohad dynasty'.
