This name derives from the Persian “Tūrān”, meaning “the land of the Tur”. Tūrān is a region in Central Asia. The term, of Iranian origin, first appears in the texts of the Avesta, where the Tuirya are an Iranian tribe. Tur is a mythical character in the Persian epic Shahnameh (~1000 CE). Tur is the second son of the Iranian mythical king Fereydun and brother of both Salm and Iraj. Turan-shah († 1180) was a Turkish-Arabian ruler, the Ayyubid prince (emir) of Yemen (1174-1180), Baalbek (1179), Damascus (1176-1179) and finally Alexandria where he died in 1180.
