Babar

Babar (), meaning "tiger" is a male given name of Persian origin. The name is also variously spelled as Baber, Babur, and Babor. The name is generally taken in reference to the Persian babr, meaning "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 in South Asia, and thus the name is popular amongst Muslim communities in South Asia.
