The name “Kuwait” is derived from Arabic word “Kut”, meaning “fort”.

#2. Kuwait was once a home of the shifting nomads. People would come and go and never settled for the long term until the 18th century.

#3. During the eighteenth century, nomadic tribes and clans suffering from the drought of the desert settled on the coast of the Arabian Gulf. The modern-day Kuwaitis are the descendants of these early day settlers. They built forts to protect themselves from other nomadic tribes and by-passers, and hence the name of the country originated.
