| borbor | Name of an ancient, still existing tribe and family name in Iran (variously spelled as: Bōrbōr / Borbor / Boorboor / Bourbour / Būrbūr / Burbur), a Lor tribe dispersed throughout Iran, especially in Azerbaijan, Varāmin, northern Khorasan, Fārs, and Kermān; some sectors have become sub-tribes of the Afšār, Bahārlu, Baḵtiāri, Hedāvand, Ḵamsa, Qašqāʾi, Turkmen, Shahsavan and possibly others. An early settlement pattern, combined with gradual assimilation within several confederacies and their consequent bilingual or trilingual acquisition, has caused many scholars to bestow an erroneous genesis upon the Bōrbōr tribe. Some have granted Turkish ethnicity, while others have suggested Kurdish descent (Chodźko, p. 295, who also mistakenly transcribes the name as Berber. They were misled by the fact that the branch within the Qašqāʾi are Turkish speakers, and those in the Varāmin region are Kurdish speakers. The Bōrbōr are neither Turks nor Kurds, but Lors.
