Hauz Khas is named after an ancient water reservoir by the same name, now part of the extensive Hauz Khas Complex. In the Urdu language, 'Hauz’ means "water tank" (or lake) and ‘Khas’ means "royal", giving it the meaning — the "Royal tank". The large water tank or reservoir was first built by Alauddin Khalji (1296–1316) (the plaque displayed at the site records this fact) to supply water to the inhabitants of Siri Fort.
