Pharos was not Arabic ("Egyptian") for "lighthouse." Pharos was the island the world's first lighthouse, the Pharos of Alexandria, was built on. It was called that because of the island. However, derivatives of the word "Pharos" mean "lighthouse" in at least six languages, including Portugese, Spanish, French, Romanian, Italian, and Albanian. "Pharos" still does not mean "lighthouse" in Arabic.
