We had, in fact, three — we called the one in Libya Trablusgarp, Trablus of the West, and he one in Lebanon Trablusşam, Trablus of the Levant, and we call the only one that we have left in Anatolia, today's Turkey, Tirebolu. Just like hashes, given a large enough empire, name collisions are inevitable.

Edit: Corrected one of the names. Thanks @egiboy.

It's not Trablusşark but rather Trablusşam, Tripoli of the Levant: https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trablus%C5%9Fam
Thank you! Corrected and credited.
