Etymology
شَمْبانِيا is a direct borrowing of the French word champagne, transliterated into Arabic script with the common foreign-noun ending -يا. Champagne itself is named after the Champagne region of France, whose name goes back to the Latin campania, meaning open countryside, from campus, field. Arabic took the word wholesale in the modern era along with the drink itself, rather than building it from a native Arabic root.
