| About Zejtun: |
Zejtun a Town in the South East of Malta with its centre
on top of a hill which overlooks the harbour of Marsaxlokk
and the bays of Saint Thomas and Marsascala.
The name Zejtun Originated from Phoenician and Semetic
Arab meaning the fruit of the olive tree. In Arabic
"zaytun", Turkish "zejtin" and in
Spanish and Portugese where Arab culture flourished
found as "aceituna" and "azeituna"
respectively. Of course the word "zaytun"
is prevalent in North African countries. In Maltese
itself the word is now used only as a place name, and
the word "zebbug" is now used both for the
olive tree and its fruit. Indeed the motto of Zejtun
is "frott iz-zebbug ismi". |
