Did you know ? 
The name Berber came from the Greeks, who generically called all North Africans “barbarians”. To say the least, it's not the real name of the Amazigh people, thought it got widely spread and commonly misused. The name they chose for themselves was the "Imaghizen", which means “free people” or “Noble ones”. Its singular form is Amazigh.
