Arsenal Football Club is called Arsenal because of "Arsenal" which basically means an establishment for the construction of weapon and ammunition storage, which links with weapons making "The Gunners" a suitable nickname. It was previously called different names such as Dial Square and Woolwhich Arsenal.
