Etymology
editNamed after a prominent geographic feature, "wadi" is an Arabic term reserved for dry river valleys. The second part of its name, "wasaah", is an Arabic term for "wide". It was given this name due to the vast expanse of a prominent wadi which traverses the area, extending from Umm Salal to Al Khubaiba.[3]
