The town of Gulnare was named for the Gulnare Plain. The plain was named by either John Horrocks or William Light. The name of Gulnare in Byron's Turkish Tales and the name of Colonel Light's ship Gulnare are both derived from an English spelling of Julnar the Sea-born in older English translations of the Arabian Nights.
