Mahabad (Persian: مهاباد, Kurdish: مەھاباد; also Romanized as Mahābād and Mehābād; real name and formerly known as Sāūjbulākh or Sawcheblakh)[1] is a town and the capital of Mahabad County, West Azerbaijan Province, Iran. At the 2011 census, its population was 32,324 .[2]

The towns population is predominantly Kurdish .[3][4]


Etymology

The town was founded some 300 years ago during the Safavid period, and its first name was Savoujbolagh. Savoujbolagh is a Turkic word meaning cold spring. Later, in the Qajarid period,[when?] the town was called Savoujbolagh Mokri, meaning Savoujbolagh of the Mukri tribe, due to the residence of the Mukri tribe in the town. This was the name of the town until 1936, when the town was named Mahabad by Rashid Yasemi from the Academy of Persian Language and Literature.[5][6]

There is many towns and villages in Iran with the name Mahabad. All of them being more ancient than the Mahabad of West Azerbaijan.[7] [8][9][10]
