Persian gulf!!(not arabian gulf)?

Question

historical evidences tell us that persian gulf is right.so why do some people still call it arabian gulf?!

Answer 1

ITs the Persian Gulf......

It will forever be the Persian Gulf

It had always been the Persian Gulf (for the last 10,000 years)

and it STILL NOW IS PERSIAN GULF......

To those who think it should be called Arabian gulf, know that it has been Persian Gulf for long enough....and there is no country called only "Arabia" either, Saudi Arabia means

Long live Iran....!!! :D

Answer 2

i don't really care if it was called the c**p gulf, but what evidences you are talking about! first iranians are several nations, persians are just one of them, and they mostly lived in the main land away from the sea, and they were not known as sailors, not as much as arabs, even on the iranian half of the gulf's shore, they are mostly arabs especially in occupied arab land of Mohammara or arabestan. any way i will start to call it the c**p gulf from now on.

Answer 3

haha arabian gulf that's a funny name ...

the persian gulf is always going to be the persian gulf and iranians are the main persians anyways braap braap

persian pride  

Answer 4

Mike I don't believe there is a country called Arabia. Unless you are referring to SAUDI ARABIA. If you know your history, you'll know that a country called Persia has existed for many millenia - a name change does not take away its existence.

If you brush up on your history, you will also see that the body of water in the south of Persia (or Iran) has always been referred to as the Persian Gulf.

I have found from Arab friends that in Arab countries, they refer to it, wrongly if I may add, as the Arabian Gulf.  That is like referring to the "Mexican Gulf" as the "American Gulf".

So let's just all agree that no force or pressure or persistence or amount of money will change what rightfully by name and nature belongs to Persia and Persians (a.k.a Iran and Iranians).

Answer 5

Because where Iran is right now was once a powerful country named Persia. And the gulf is near a country called Iran.

Answer 6

Go and look for the country called Persia and you will get the answer.

Until you find it, Arabia it is.

Answer 7

it has been the Persian gulf for thousands of years but a few years back someone decided to rename it Arabian gulf. the name never stuck and it is still called the persian gulf.

Answer 8

It was/is/will be always persian Gulf, not anything else. People who call it arabian gulf, gulf, or some other made names are kinds of *** and someday they will find out how a big mistake they're making!

PERSIAN GULF, HANDS DOWN!
