The Kurds are an ethnic groups in the Middle East, mostly inhabiting a contiguous area spanning adjacent parts of southeastern Turkey, western Iran, northern Iraq, and northern Syria. The Kurds have ethnically diverse origins. They are culturally and linguistically closely related to the Iranian peoples and, as a result, are often themselves classified as an Iranian people. Kurdish nationalists claim that the Kurds are descended from the Hurrians and the Medes, (the latter being another Iranian people) and the claimed Median descent is reflected in the words of the Kurdish national anthem: "we are the children of the Medes and Kai Khosrow".
The term "Kurd" is first encountered in Arabic sources of the seventh century.
