"Umm" means mother in Arabic and is commonly used as a prefix for geographical features. The second component, "ebairiya", comes from "obri", the local name of a plant that grows abundantly in the region.[4]
Alternative transliterations of the name include Umm ‘Ubayrīyah,[5] Umm Obairiya, Umm A'birieh and Umm Abiriyah.[6]
