Khorsn Sun Persian Xwarenah is derived from Middle Persian Khwarsn (

), a
compound of khwar (meaning "sun") and sn (from yn, literally meaning "to come" or
"coming" or "about to come"). Thus the name Khorasan (or Khoryn )means "land where
the sun rises"[5] or "east".[6] The Persian word Khvar-zamn (Persian: ) , meaning "the
eastern land", has also been used as an equivalent term. [7]
Bukhara was known as Bokhara in 19th- and early 20th-century English publications and
as Buhe/Puhein Tang Chinese.[3] According to the Encyclopdia Iranica the name
Bukhara is possibly derived from the Soghdian uxrak ("Place of Good Fortune")[4] which in turn
is derived from Sanskrit vihara which means Buddhist monasteries. Bukhara emerged as an
urban centre of Buddhism in the ancient times along the Silk Route in Central Asia.
Muhammad ibn Jafar Narshakhi in his History of Bukhara (completed 943-44 CE) mentions:
Bukhara has many names. One of its name was Numijkat. It has also been called "Bumiskat". It
has 2 names in Arabic. One is "Madinat al Sufriya" meaning - "the copper city" and another is
"Madinat Al Tujjar" meaning - "The city of Merchants". But, the name Bukhara is more known
than all the other names. In Khorasan, there is no other city with so many names[5]
Since the Middle Ages, the city has been known as Bur / in Arabic and Persian sources.
The modernUzbek spelling is Buxoro.
