1- The Persian gulf is a ancient name , that used from 26 century ago.

2-Arab scholars up to the 1960s have also referred to the body of water as per its correct name "Kahleej-ol-Faris" (Persian Gulf) (see George Hourani's "Arab Seafaring: In the Indian Ocean in Ancient and Early Medieval Times", Princeton University Press, 1995).

3-The "Ara bian Gulf" actually referred to the present-day Red Sea in antiquity (see Herodotus). The invention of "Ara bian Gulf" with respect to its historically incorrect reference to the Persian Gulf was initiated by Sir Charles Belgrave (advisor to the Emir of Bahrain in 1926)

who made the formal proposal to change the name of Persian Gulf in 1937 - the initiative was rejected by the British government at the time. For a popular reference regarding Sir Belgrave's activities, see TIME Magazine's August 27, 1956 entitled "The Uncontrollable Genie).

Sir Belgrave's failure did not restrain Mr. Roderic Owen (an employee of British Petroleum in the 1950s)  from  reviving  the  project  of  name  change for the Persian Gulf. The term "Ara bian Gulf" is a geopolitical .invention devoid of historical context or meaning; it is also illegal. (see aforementioned UN actions).

Note that the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) has removed all references to "Ara bian Gulf" and now correctly refers to the body of water as The Persian Gulf. This is the result of a contact made to Russ Germain (Broadcast Language advisor, CBC Radio Canada) almost 3 years ago. On Monday Feb.11, 2002, Mr. Germain recommended that all references to "Arabian Gulf" be removed from CBC broadcasts in favour of the legal and correct term, Persian Gulf. I can forward a transcript of that communication to you upon request.

To quote Russ Germain with regard to the aforementioned letter, the incorrect Belgrave-Owen term "Ara bian Gulf" is mainly the result of a "successful public relations campaign undertaken in the name of geopolitical interests". See Full History
