It says Ajan i think (عجن) which was some archaic term for the Indian Ocean part of the Somali coast. The north was called Adal even long after it's fall on these maps. Ajan has nothing to do with Ajuuraan as a name title.

Ajan is actually Ajam which means non arab in the arabic language.
The coast of southern somalia was often referred to as Ajam or the land of non-arabs

why didnt they call it ajamstan? on the map they wrote afghanistan/khoarasan as ajamstan. maybe ajan is right.
