The
Sicilian term Val, italianised in Vallo as in the contemporary name of
Mazara del Vallo, doesn't translate as "valley" but as "province" or "prefecture". The more commonly accepted etymology is from the same root of the
ArabWāli, "prefect" or "governor", or
Wilayah, "province" or "prefecture". In
Italian or in Sicilian "Val"/"Vallo" and "Val/Valle" are clearly distinguished by the gender, e.g. the Sicilian provinces are males, while the valleys are females. In the Italian Wikipedia all of this is explained in detail in the specific page about the Sicilian Vals:
https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vallo_di_Sicilia, specifically in the section about etymology. — Preceding
