Hello,
as you said, there are really a lot of stories about the original cause of the name “Red Sea”. I also heard some, one of them was that the name was created because the glow of the sunset behind the mountains in the west is reflected, like this the surface of the sea turns into this shiny red colour. But in my opinion the tale of the blue alga is the most plausible. I also could watch this nature phenomenon a few times at the red sea coast.

I've also heard the reason of the sunset, but like was said above, I'm pretty sure it's a result of the algae.

Hello
There are several misconceptions about the red sea. I have listened lots of story about red sea like the sea is called red sea because the minerals in the nearby mountains are red. In other views The name might also come from a native people known as Himarites meaning red in native lingo. Also the directions in a compass were coded in specific colors to denote specific directions; the color red was used to denote the south while black was used to denote the north.
