My husband is Berber and our third boy's name is Aghilas (Aghillas). It definately means cub or baby lion. I just thought you would like to know.

Ithink that the name Takfarnas was an epithet given by the Romans to the berber rebel and it's origin from the old berber language "Iceffaren" which means Thieves.
By analogy to the Chafarinas Islands off the coast of Morocco, called by the local berberz in the Rif Iceffaren or Takfarinas,with the same meaning of Thieves.
