The term "Kurdistan" to mean the land of the Kurdish people was already described in the [11th century](https://www.oxfordreference.com/display/10.1093/acref/9780198662624.001.0001/acref-9780198662624-e-3359?rskey=2GHfaB&result=2), which suggests that the Kurds have lived in this region since ancient times.
