The Kurds are an ethnic group who originally lived in a region often referred to as Kurdistan, an area that includes adjacent parts of Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkey. They are the native inhabitants. Evidence of their culture goes back thousands of years, yet they have no country to call their own. Now there are many Kurds living all over the world. The name originally came from a greek word meaning mountain people.
