As history goes, before the formation of the United Arab Emirates the tribes moved from area to area in the country, some would hunt for food, some would go to get fish. Hunting was very common at the time. Not only did tribes move for food they moved in search of water sources too.
During one of the hunting trip one of the tribes known as the Bani Yas Tribe were on one such hunting trip, they followed a gazelle and discovered that the gazelle led them a rich land of water, there they stayed put. The Name 'Abu Dhabi' means 'Father of the Gazelle' as the land was also known for its many gazelle at the time.
The origin of the name "Abu Dhabi" is uncertain. Meaning "Father of Deer", when literally translated from Arabic, it probably referred to the few gazelle that inhabit the emirate. According to Bilal Al Budoor, assistant under-secretary for Cultural Affairs at the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Community Development, "The area had a lot of dhibaa [deer], and was nicknamed after that." An old story tells about a man who used to chase deer [dhabi] and was named the "father" of the animal. Abu Dhabi's original name was Milh"salt", possibly referring to the salty water of the Persian Gulf, or the ancient salt marshes that surround the city's borders. Some Bedouins called the city Umm Dhabi (mother of deer), while British records refer to the place as Abu Dhabi. According to some historical accounts, the name Abu Dhabi was first used more than 300 years ago.
