Sohrevard
Sohrevard () is a city in the Central District of Khodabandeh County, Zanjan province, Iran, serving as the administrative center for Sohrevard Rural District. The previous capital of the rural district was the village of Karasf, now a city. Etymology According to Theodor Nöldeke, and later followed by Josef Marquart, the name Sohrevard was originally derived from the personal name Sohrab, so that the city's original name would have been something like ''Suxrāp-kart'' or ''Suhrāv-gerd''. Nöldeke specifically thought the Sohrab in question was a certain governor of al-Hirah attested with this name, but there were many other known people named Sohrab and in reality the city could have been named after any one of them.

According to al-Istakhri, this route was the shortest route to get from Jibal to Adharbayjan a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
