Etymological discussion on the origin and Meaning of the word Mecca

Arab historians have long argued for the etymology and meaning of the word 'Mecca' that have been critically and arguably controversial from a historical, ontological and semantic perspective. These assumptions, often based on some kind of folk etymology, have become less popular among scholars because of repeated quotations from primary sources and less widely criticized for their validity and frequency of use. The presence of very ancient Persian word constructions in the Arabic language and older texts of this language, including ignorant poems and, more importantly, the Holy Qur'an, reflects the longstanding relationship of the Iranian branch of Indian and European languages with Arabic, with historical evidence also relying on proximity and relevance. Iran also justifies this presence with the Assyrian and Akkad lands, the origins of the Arab people and the Sami languages, as well as the political domination of the Iranian governments over the Arabian Peninsula in ancient and medieval times. The present study has attempted, while examining the views of former linguists, using the descriptive-analytical method to develop and explain the hypothesis of the origin of the word "Mecca" in Arabic. The result of this study shows that the word "Mecca" and its more original construction "Becca" have the Iranian root and an evolved form of the word "bagh" or "bag" in ancient Avestan and Persian language meaning holy city or city of God.
