Abstract

The Sultanate of Oman has been known by many names across the ages, the most prominent among them Magan, Mazūn, the Land of Magan, and Oman. Magan came from its association and renown in shipbuilding and copper smelting in the language of the Sumerians, who maintained many commercial and maritime relations with Oman and called it in their tablets the Land of Magan. The name Mazūn came from the abundance of water for which it was known by comparison with neighbouring countries, while the name Oman is said to derive from ʿUmān ibn Ibrāhīm the Friend of God. Across history Oman occupied an active civilizational centre interacting from antiquity with the centres of civilization in the ancient world; and while Oman was one of the vital centres on the Silk Road between East and West, it formed a flourishing commercial, maritime and cultural centre in the Indian Ocean until the second half of the nineteenth century. This study traces its commercial and cultural relations with Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore.
