about kuwait:
Kuwait was founded in the early eighteenth century by various clans of the Anaiza, who gradually migrated sometime in the late seventeenth century from Nejd to the shores of the Persian Gulf. In the course of these migrations, different tribal groups with different skills came together to form a new tribe, what became collectively known as Bani Utub after the migration. According to one local tradition, the Sabahs migrated south to flee drought in Najd, but found conditions bleaker. Returning to Najd, they regrouped with other families and migrated to Zubara, on Qatar's west coast. Finding conditions no better there, they finally migrated north to Kuwait where they found water and consequently settled. On the last leg of the journey they had atabu ila al-shamal (moved to the north), one explanation of the origin of the name Bani Utub. When they arrived at Kuwait, the Bani Utub found a small Bani Khalid settlement. Possibly the Bani Khalid or Bani Utub had built a fortress from which the name Kuwait, a diminutive of kut or fortress, derives.
