Babar

Babar (}}), also variously spelled as Baber, Babur, and Babor is a male given name of Persian origin. It is generally taken in reference to the Persian ''babr'' (Persian: ببر), meaning "tiger". There is a similar name in connotation to the Arabic male given form and generic name of the animal by the name "Nimr" (Arabic: نَمِر ''namir'') which means "yellow-black striped cat", i.e. "tiger". The word repeatedly appears in Ferdowsi's ''Shahnameh'' and was borrowed into the Turkic languages of Central Asia.

Thackston argues for an alternate derivation from the PIE word "beaver", pointing to similarities between the pronunciation ''Bābor'' and the Russian ''bobr'' (, "beaver").
