Etymology

The term "rawda" refers to depressions which act as reservoirs for surface runoff and thus are rich in plant life. "Abal" is derived from the Arabic "abu", meaning "father of"; this is commonly used as a prefix for geographical features in Qatar. Finally, the term Arabic term "heeran" translates to "young camels". This name was given to the area on account of the numerous camels which historically grazed in the area.
