Ummahat Owaina ( Arabic: امهات عوينة, romanized: Ummahāt ‘Uwaynah) is a district in Qatar, located in the municipality of Al Rayyan. [2] [3]
Nearby settlements include Al Khaldiya to the east and Umm Al Zubar East in Al-Shahaniya Municipality to the north-east. [3]
"Ummahat" is the plural of "umm", which translates to "mother", and is commonly used as a prefix for geographic features. The second word, "owaina", is derived from "ain", which refers to a natural underground spring. This name arose from an important local spring. [3]
