Babar
Babar (), also variously spelled as Baber, Babur, and Babor is a male given name of Pashto, and Persian origin, generally taken in reference to the Persian "babr" (Persian: ببر), meaning "tiger". It is the general name of the animal which is adopted in the Arabic. 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 stripped 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"). The most famous bearer of this name was Zahiruddin Muhammad Babur, known popularly as Babur, a prince of the Timurid dynasty who founded the Mughal Empire, and the name is popular in Pakistan, Afghanistan, as well as Muslim communities in South Asia.
