Bushehr

Bushehr (Persian: بوشهر; [buːˈʃe(h)ɾ] ⓘ)[a] is a port city in the Central District of Bushehr County, Bushehr province, Iran, serving as capital of the province, the county, and the district.[4] The roots of the name "Bushehr" are uncertain. It is unlikely that it is derived from Abū Šahr ("father of the city"), a theory which remains popular. It may be an abbreviation of Bokht-Ardashir ("Ardashir has given"), though this is not backed by evidence conclusive . [5][6] [1].
