Etymology of Bahrain

Bahrain has been derived from the word Bahrayn which originates from the Arabic word bahr (sea). Bahrayn means two bahrs or two seas. There are disputes over the grammatical details of Bahrain’s name. There is also confusion about which two seas are referred. While the term has come five times in the Holy Quran, it is questionable if it actually talks about our modern Bahrain.

Putting the debate outside, generally, two seas are considered to be- the east bay and west of the islands, the north and a south sea of the island, or the fresh and saltwater present below and above the ground. Another great theory suggests that the two oceans were a calm lake on the Arabian mainland and the Persian Gulf.
