Cairo
Cairo comes from the Arabic Al-Qahirah which means “The Conqueror” or “The Victorious One”. But the name also derives from the Arabic reference for the planet of Mars an-Najm al-Qāhir, “the Conquering Star”.
The astronomical symbolism here is also compared to the city’s founder, the Fatimid caliph Al-Mui’zz, whose coming saw the triumph that secured the land in the 9th century.
