The Name "Chefchaouen"

The name Chefchaouen is composed of two words: "Shouf" which means "look" and "echaouen" the plural of "ech" Amazigh which mean "horn" and referring often to the top of the mountain. Therefore, the meaning of "Chefchaouen" would be "looking at the horns" and more specifically "looking at the mountain peaks."
