Sorry, misread the question - thought it was asking for former name of Mauritania
L-I-K, I think you are referring to the island of Mauritius, which is on the other coast of Africa. I can't find any reference to Mauritania ever being called anything other than Mauritania, although Famous5 is correct that it was once part of a group of nations called French West Africa.
Sincere apologies!!
