Avar

From Turkic, compare Azerbaijani bayram.

Noun

Bashkir

Etymology

According to Altaicists, from Proto-Turkic *bayra- (to celebrate).[1] EDAL proposes that *badram shares the same verbal root as in байраҡ (bayraq) and бәйге (bəyge).

From Common Turkic *badram, ultimately from an Iranian source according to Clauson. Compare Karakhanid بَذْرَمْ (baḏram), Sogdian [script needed] (ptrʾm /⁠patrăm⁠/, calm, peace), Persian پدرام (pedrâm, lucky, happy).

Cognate with Tatar бәйрәм (bäyräm), Kazakh мейрам (meiram), Kyrgyz майрам (mayram), Khakas пайрам (payram), Azerbaijani bayram, Turkish bayram, etc.
