Premier League club Arsenal is also known by which nickname?

Arsenal is nicknamed "The Gunners."

The nickname comes from Arsenal's origins at the Royal Arsenal munitions factory in Woolwich, southeast London. The club was founded in 1886 by workers at the factory, who initially called their team Dial Square after one of the factory's workshops. The connection with weapons manufacturing later gave Arsenal both its nickname and its famous cannon emblem.

Arsenal adopted the name Royal Arsenal soon after formation, then became Woolwich Arsenal in 1891. When the club moved north to Highbury in 1913, the word Woolwich was eventually dropped, but the Gunners identity remained. The singular form, "Gunner," refers to an Arsenal player, supporter, or member of the club.

A common mix-up is to call Arsenal simply "the Arsenal," which is part of the club's historical naming tradition but is not its principal nickname. The cannon on Arsenal's crest is a visual reminder of the team's industrial beginnings. Arsenal's women's side and supporters also commonly use the Gunners name.
