== Etymology == The name Marsaxlokk comes from the Arabic word ''marsa'', which means ''port'' and ''xlokk'', which is the Maltese word for ''south-east''. The word is related to the name for the dry [[sirocco]] wind that blows from the Sahara, comparable to the equivalent [[Catalan language|Catalan]] word, ''xaloc''. The inhabitants of the village are called the ''Xlukkajri'' and are, traditionally, fishermen by trade.
