Gümbet adını, Muğla yöresinde halk arasında 'kümbet/gümbet' denilen kubbe biçimli su sarnıçlarından alır. Osmanlı döneminde yapılan bu sarnıçlar, su bulunmayan yerlerde yağmur suyunu toplamak için kullanılır; genellikle 7-10 metre çapında dairesel bir duvar üzerine küresel kubbeyle örülürdü. Bölgede ilk sarnıçların yapımının Kanuni Sultan Süleyman'ın 1522 Rodos seferi dönemine dayandığı yörede anlatılır (rivayet). Bu yapılar bölgenin simgesi olmuş ve mahalleye adını vermiştir.

Bodrum's ancient name is Halikarnassos, one of the most important centers of Carian civilization. It once hosted the Mausoleion, one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world, and was also the birthplace of Herodotus. Today, this ancient city, still living within modern Bodrum, presents a unique open-air stage of history where past and present intertwine.
