Historical information about the naming of the city of Tozeur, the name of Tozeur :: Name it: Tozar (by joining the Ta or by opening it, then silence and opening the Zai) Tozeur was mentioned for the first time in the history of the Greek geographer Ptolemy in the second century BC. Under the name Tesorus, then in the German table Peutinger (table de), which represents a medieval version of the Roman road map in the third and fourth centuries AD under the name of Tozurus. To the fifth century AD, an unknown person referred to his affiliation to the city of Tozeur, located in the Proconsular Africa, and the list of episcopal chairs in Mazak listed the name of the bishopric of Tozoritanos. The assumptions regarding the source of the name Tozeur ranged from what is mythical and related to philology or the study of site names and flags. Al-Adwani said that the name belongs to a potting woman named Tozeur, who lived in Qastilia, and was expelled from her because of the smoke from her oven, so she settled in Tozeur today with her husband, a bathhouse. While Comte du Paty de Clam went on in his book on the historical exploits of Tozeur that the name Tozeur was derived from a Houthi colony called Tsour, which later became Tyr, meaning "strong". According to him, Tsur is a picture of Utsuur, meaning “from Assyria,” meaning that she came from Assyria, who used to call Nineveh the great god Ilou. The same writer also mentioned that the wife of Pharaoh Menephta II was called Taouser. As for Tissot, he referred to the Berber origin, as he considered that the word Tozeur derives from the Berber "Tesouer", which is the feminine form of the word "strong", meaning "strong". As for Jacqueline, she mentioned some myths that are stored in the collective memory, including those related to a woman who lived under a tent and people gradually came to her to live next door to her, so the city of Tozeur grew up. In fact, the name Tozeur is from an Amazigh source, as we find in the dictionary of Father de Foucauld my name Tasart, which means highland and valley, and Tasaret, which benefits the valley and the water point. If we omit the T-sound around the word and in the Berber language it represents the feminine form, and the vowel a, then we will find the source SR, which means abundant gonorrhea. It is likely that Arab geographers cited from that source in the medieval period the words Sharsh and Tarsi, which they said that the inhabitants of Tozeur use them to denote the sources of the eyes that are characterized by the presence of flat heights or gharats whose feet burst into springs and springs. De Slane referred when translating the Book of Paths and Kingdoms to some other versions of this word, including Sars and Sdos, which is meant in the language of the Berbers, the Zinatians, Ceylon. Supporting this hypothesis is the presence of a valley and a spring bearing the name of Tazarit at the bottom of Mount Sidi Bouhlal, and the Thasarthe site located on the left bank of the Wadi Harifa when entering Sahl al-Saqi. In the Middle Ages, some of the Akhbarians used the name Qastiliya (Qusatliah), Qastalia, and Qustilia, and the name Al Qastalani to denote the city and its inhabitants at times and on the whole of the lands of Jerid at other times. Among the other names that were given to Tozeur and which were mentioned in the books of travelers and informants, the name Tozeur al-Khadra, Tozeur, the weight of the essence, as well as Bilad al-Kasbah.
