Abstract
Though ar-raḥal is an arab word, the name of El Arrahal is not mentioned until 1342, a century after the soldiers of Ferdinand III conquered its lands. The remaining population preserved the common noun of this place in Arabic, which also in XIIIth century Spanish was a word referred to the sheepfold', where the flocks were garthered together. This also proves. against what has been believed so far, that El Arahal was populated spontaneously along 14th century: due to its situation within the boundaries of Morón, its inhabitants shared the priviledges of this frontier town, though living in a safe place and close to the chief roads in the area.
