How was Henna Sooq named?

Henna is a plant that grows in very hot, dry climates such as Morocco, India, Pakistan, and Yemen. This plant is used for traditional body art, sometimes called mehndi, for dyeing hair naturally, for its medicinal properties and for art.
Sooq is Arabic for marketplace; hence, Henna and Sooq came together as one becoming the henna marketplace: Henna Sooq
