The description for Maghrebi Arabic names states: "These names are a subset of Arabic names used more often in the Maghreb (Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria and Libya)".
Mauritania is also a part of the Maghreb, both the geographical region and the Arab Maghreb Union (a trade union between the 5 Maghrebi nations including Algeria, Libya, Morocco, and Tunisia). Mauritania also widely speaks Arabic and the people do count as Maghrebis, so I feel that it should be included in the explanation of the Maghrebi Arabic names.
