Etymology
Possibly from Sumerian "Uruk" or "Warka" (Biblical "Erech") region in the south of ancient Iraq. Medieval Arabic uses 'Iraq' as a geographical term for the area in the south and center of the modern Iraq. Some Arabic sources say that Iraq comes from ARchar|عر�� (IPAchar|�arí:q, "deep-rooted"), from ARchar|عر� (IPAchar|�irq, "root").
