Meccan
From Islam's birthplace
Meccan describes something relating to Mecca, the holiest city in Islam and birthplace of the Prophet Muhammad.
In Islamic scholarship, Meccan refers specifically to the suras of the Quran revealed before Muhammad's migration to Medina, as distinguished from the later Medinan verses: The Meccan suras tend to be shorter and more poetic.
A Meccan is a person from Mecca.
