Kurdistan on that map is called Corduene, which is the native name meaning 'land of Cords (Kurds).'
Also search Mahmud Al Kashgari and you will see a map from the 11th century showing an 'Ard Al Akrad' next to Syria and Iraq (clearly creating a historic base for a Kurdish country). It is one of the most ancient maps of Kurds that I've come across so far.
Kurds are not Persians who migrated west, this idea is favoured by racist Assadists and also Persian fascists who try to decredit our struggle. Turks and other Arabs also created similar theories. None of these are true. Kurds are descended from the mountaineers of Zagros and Upper Mesopotamia, particularly the Hurrians and their affiliated tribes.
