Arav is horse in Sanskrit, so its the land of horses and Saudi Arabia (only land which uses the 'Arabia' title) is known for beautiful horses.
ILA in Sanskrit is the female aspect of creation or creator which is Amba or Durga. In Arabic with respect AL (The) is added as in Al Arabia, Al Khaba, Al Islam, Al Nahyan, Al Thani etc. So AL+ILA is Alilah which is Shakti or Gurga or Amba. (If you listen to chanting of Sama Veda compared to the Quran recital, its the same tone of delivery)
The pradakshina or parikrama here is done in reverse order as in Shiva temple with the same costumes and fasting before pilgrimage. The enclosure has Shiv Linga (Hajar Al Aswad), Kamandal, Bells, brass vessels and most importantly an inscription of King Vikramaditya. The Ganges (Zam Zam water) and the Moon is also inseparable from Shiva.
That is how the land of Kabaaleshwara (worshiped by Vikramaditya in Aravastan) became Kaaba. It is known from studies that Mohammed's uncle was the priest of this temple and in fact even wrote a Shiva stuthi.
