I also read a few theories that also make sense. Since Muscat مسقط means the place where something is, like مسقط الرأس means place of birth; some say it means that it falls inside of the mountains, or that it is where valleys fall. Also some say that when the Sahaba went to it everyone was silent so it was named مسكت then it changed over time to Muscat.

Omans most ancient name was Maggan/Majan this was what the area was known by the Sumerians and Babylonians . This is probably around 2500BC-1800BC and the area was known for its rich copper and metal deposits and good quality ships and was a stop for traders from Babylonia and Elamites on their way to Meluhha or the Indus Valley civilisation.

Manama is called the place of sleep, because travelers (from south to north) would sleep there before catching a boat to Muharraq (island) the following morning.

"Aden/عدن" does not mean the "Place or the Plain" it is the Arabic word for the Garden of Eden, which the city is named after.

A Saudi here! You did a pretty great job, the KSA part was perfect! There are a couple of notes I'd like to add: - in Bahrain, it does indeed mean Two seas, but I've heard its due to a spring of sweet water that is pumping in the middle of the salt sea somewhere near the island. - Yemen does indeed refer to (the right side) as opposed to left. But it isn't in the context of Arabia's geography, it's in the context of Kaabah! The holiest place in Islam. Ka'abah has a corner stone called The Black Rock on one of it's corners, the next corner to the right of it is called (Al-Rukn Al-Yamani, The Right Corner), if you draw a straight line from that corner you will end up in the land of Yemen, the land on the Right of the Ka'abah.

The name of Oman have nothing to do with persia, they (persians) even didn’t can pronounce it correctly because it contains ع letter which is an exclusive to semitic langueges

Bahrain is a very old name. It only recently referred to the small island nation. It used to refer to the entirety of the eastern region of the peninsula. There are many theories to what it might refer to: -the region encompasses the water of the Persian gulf and the yellow lake in Al-ahsaa (now saudi) -the main island (referred to as awal island in the past) being situated between the Persian gulf and the Arabian desert -the area between Al-qatif and al-ahsaa (now Saudi) is abundant in water wells and close to the gulf too -the main awal island having deep water wells that were names a sea in their own right along side the gulf itself. It’s impossible to know the true origin but the region always has been named after the sea in the oldest texts found.

In biblical Hebrew the cardinal directions are looking east - to the sun rise: Kadima (froward) is east - until today eastern winds are called by this name Yamina (right) is south Akhora (backward) is west - the Mediterranean is sometimes call the "last sea" which means the sea behind you I have not seen left used as north but it probably was

The right as a direction has many positive meanings in Arabic, it means good fortune too

Aden and Sana’a were at one time simultaneous Yemeni capitals, back when the country was split into North and South (or Arab Republic and People’s Democratic Republic, respectively). The two nations unified into the current Republic of Yemen in 1990.

You missed a few details, and some weren't exact, but that's generally pretty good. The i at the end of Saudi indicates a relativity the Saud. Muscat relates to the verb "sakata" with means to fall. Which might make sense if the ground is lower than the surrounding area. That probably makes more sense than hiding. Another think there is an arabic expression "maskat ra's" which means home town (the literal translation is "where [their] head fell", in reference to getting born). Amir means prince or commander depending on the situation. The UAE works more like a group of principalities. They got united because they can ve stronger this way than if they were independent. Qatar and Bahrain were supposed to be part of the union, but then changed their minds. Those are the ones that I noticed. A lot of the names are in the local dialect, which I'm not very familiar with. Fun fact: the arabic name for Saudi Arabia means the "the saudi arabic kingdom" (with saudi being for Al-Saud what british is for Britain). While the english name sounds like "the Arabia of Al-Saud".

I think Manama is related to the hebrew root N.A.M ( נ.ע.ם) which is used to convey comfort or pleasure. i.e Naim li (נעים לי) = I'm comfortable. There's also the Hebrew word Manaamim (מנעמים) = delicacies which is extremely close in meaning and form to Manama.

" Manama" came from the word "Manamah," it means his sleeping/ his sleep 😊 they guess because it is in the north, and usually, when the wind is coming from the north, it is cold one. So we guess someone used to sleep there in summer for a better whether 😊 Kuwait is a derivative from the word "koot," which means "Fort. But when we say Kuwait, we mean a small fort.

I can't wait for the Iraq and Levant video

Manama, as you stated it means the place of rest ( Manam), it’s called like this as in old times Bahrain ( was called - Awal/ Delmon/ Taylos) used to be a heaven on Earth and visited by many for resting and vecation( therefore a place to have a good rest sleep 😅) Also It’s said , ( Manam is taken from Manamat) which means tall buildings as traders and sailors used to call out the name once they see it and it’s a sign they hv reached the island - Bahrain was one of the main ports in the silk and spices road ) Thank you for the video 😊

6:13 As long as it's not Katara from ATLA, everything's alright

Will this video be any good? Just Kuwait and see
