Andalusia in Spain is named after them, as from a Moorish/Arabic perspective it was ‘Al Andalus’: the Land of the Vandals (the invaders having crossed from there to Africa).
Andalusia in Spain is named after them, as from a Moorish/Arabic perspective it was ‘Al Andalus’: the Land of the Vandals (the invaders having crossed from there to Africa).
The modern term of vandal, along with the word vandalism, is named after this tribe.
The association between vandals and monument destruction originated in a poem written by [[John Dryden]] in 1694: ''Till Goths, and Vandals, a rude Northern race, Did all the matchless Monuments deface.''<ref>Dryden, John, "To Sir Godfrey Kneller" (1694)</ref>
