Traghan

Traghan or Traghen and Turaghan (Arabic: تراغن) is a small town in the Murzuk Desert in Murzuq District in southwest Libya. It is located east of Murzuk and Zizau. A good high road is said to link Traghan to Zizau in the west, with frequent incrustations of salt.

The word is of Toubou (Goran) origin and is pronounced Taraghan or Turaghan both correct, with three syllables: Tu or Ta means "land," ra refers to "inhabitants," and ghan means "small." Altogether, Turaghan translates to “inhabitants of the small land (or homeland).”
