Babar (Template:Langx), also variously spelled as Baber,Template:Sfnp Babur,Template:Sfnp and Babor is a male given name of Central Asian extraction, and is a male given name in Pakistan.Template:Sfn It is generally taken in reference to the Persian babr (Persian: ببر), meaning "tiger".Template:Sfnp 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.Template:Sfnp[1] Thackston argues for an alternate derivation from the PIE word "beaver", pointing to similarities between the pronunciation Bābor and the Russian bobr (Script error: No such module "Lang"., "beaver").[2]
