Behbahan

Behbahan (Persian: بهبهان)[a] is a city in the Central District of Behbahan County, Khuzestan province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.[4] The origin of word 'Behbahan' can be traced back to two distinct ideas. According to some scholars like Nowban,[5] while the first part of the word, 'beh', means 'good', the latter, 'bahan', means palace or a very big house surrounded by orchards and gardens. This is well-documented that the region was an agricultural center/hub producing mainly olive, dates, citruses as well as flower gardens.[6][7] This means, the term Behbahan means a nice living area surrounded by gardens and farms.
