Al-Faw
Another view suggests that the name is derived from the city’s position at the mouth (fāh) of the Shatt al-Arab, which evolved linguistically into Faw. Some sources, however, argue that the original word was al-Faʾu (الفأو), meaning “open land visible to the eye” or “land enclosed between two elevations”.
