- Persian Gulf, a name used by many Arab states and local Arab people.
- Red Sea, an older name used by some European nations until the 19th century
Since the 1960s, starting with Gamal Abdel Nasser and pan-Arabism, Arab states have often used the name Arabian Gulf (in Arabic: الخلیج العربي al-khalīj al-ʿarabī) for the body commonly known as the Persian Gulf. This is very controversial, and not commonly used outside of the Arab world or recognized by the United Nations and other international organizations. See Persian Gulf naming dispute for more information.
