Faro, Portugal Ossonoba, Santa Maria de Ossonoba, Ukhshunuba, Shantamariyyat al‐Gharb, Santa Maria de Hárune A district and a town. To the name of the Roman town was added St Mary by the Christian Visigoths when they arrived in this part of the Iberian Peninsula. After taking the town in 713, the Moors gave the town their version of the Roman name before renaming it Shantamariyyat al‐Gharb ‘St Mary of the West’ in the 10th century; in the 11th century they renamed it after one of their princes, Muhammad bin Said bin Hārūn, the town's governor (1026–42). The town was recaptured from the Moors in 1249 by Afonso III (1210–79), King of Portugal (1248–79), who completed the conquest of the Algarve. Hārūn was corrupted by the Christians to Faaron and in due course this became Faro.
