Etymology
The English name for Gorabo is derived from the Arabic name of Gorabo, al-Gharafa, which was in turn derived from a portmentaeu between the two rivers of Gorabo, the Ghassan, and the Aravah (in Arabic known as tha Arafa). This theory is widely agreed upon by the vast majority of etymological and archaeological experts. Archaeological evidence and old writing that has been preserved and identified shows that al-Gharafah was used as a name for the unified region of the two rivers. This name in some writings appears to be used to describe the lands of all of the two rivers, going as far to their sources in modern-day Mehrava.
