What does Tukayyid mean? How did the world get the name?

It’s a town in southern Iraq as far as I can tell

https://geographic.org/geographic_names/name.php?uni=-4397788&fid=3200&c=iraq

Beat me to it.

IRL Tukayyid appears to be the name of a smaller city/town in Muthanna, Iraq. West of Kuwait City, south of As Samawah.

Given the planet's history as being settled by the Azami Muslims, it makes sense.

Took rhymes with puke. Took-a-yid.  Not saying I remotely have a clue, that’s just the way I’ve been saying it!

I've always pronounced it "Tookey-id". I've also always assumed that pronunciation is wrong, but such is life.

I'll ask one of my Iraqi interpreters (I own a language service company) I'll let you all know. Unless somebody above knows definitively. Tuke-ahh-yid sounds most likely to me. I don't speak Arabic however. I don't speak much of anything except English (and Spanish very poorly)
edited: yid not yeed. Need to think about what I am typing phonetically.

توكاييد: assuming this is the correct spelling in Arabic it would be pronounced TOO-kaw-yeed, though you could also get away with pronouncing it TOO-kaw-yid.

The weirdest thing about that is that it apparently also had a lot of folks who came from western Washington, given the town names.
