Which gulf is also known as the Arabian Gulf?
Correct answer: Persian Gulf
Ali *Regulus* Mirza
Historically, however, these were the Arabs themselves who started calling it Al-Khāleej-al-Fârs, i.e., the Persian Gulf, because
1- it is to the "Persian" side of the Arabian Peninsula, and
2- it was Persia—one of the then superpowers—that held complete and unopposed sway over it (at least, until the late Sassanid era).

It is historically known as the Persian Gulf. The oldest maps of the region say so. Unfortunately, using fake names for this gulf is a way to widen the gap between Iranians and Arabs.
