The term Iraq has existed as a regional term in Arabic for Mesopotamia more or less since the Arab conquest of Mesopotamia in the 7th century C.E. However, as the name of an independent or quasi-independent region, it only gained the name Iraq in 1919, when it was designated as the British Mandate for Iraq.
