| Name origin | Emirates takes its name from the emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates, the country it serves as a flag carrier. The sources used here do not quote the founders explaining the choice, so the link is an inference from the name itself. | The name combines "Air" with "Arabia" and is written in Arabic as al-ʿArabiyya Lit-Ṭayarāan, meaning roughly "Arabia for flying". The sources used do not explain the naming choice in detail. |
