Google Maps Labels the Persian Gulf Correctly

No, Google Maps Uses "Persian Gulf"

Google Maps labels the body of water as "Persian Gulf." It does not use "Arabian Gulf."

Naming Dispute Context

• Historical/International standard: "Persian Gulf" (used by UN, IHO, US Board on Geographic Names, UK, EU, most atlases).
• Arabian Gulf: Preferred by Arab states (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, etc.) since 1960s.
• Google's approach: Primary label = "Persian Gulf." In some localized versions (Arabic UI), "Arabian Gulf" may appear as secondary or in parentheses.

Verification

Open Google Maps, search "Persian Gulf" — label centered on water body. No "Arabian Gulf" primary label in English/global view.
