Zor

Zoro, Ibn Khalakan, who was a Kurd and originally from Erbil, says: Zor was the son of the Azhdahak and he built the city of Sharazur in Kurdistan; Hamdullah Mustawfi says the name of Sharazur comes from the rulers who were strong and warrior. In West Kurdistan, which borders Arab and Kurdish territory, there is a city called Deir Ezzor, where Sryanis and Kurds lived in the past, but later Arabs were settled there by the Baath government of Syria, and apparently, Zor built the city. Because the Siryanis and Assyrians who lived in Kurdistan had temples, The Kurds called them: Der! It is a Madyan Avestan word and is a common word in Kurdish and Persian. If the name of the son of the Azhdahak was Zor or Zour, Dera Zor means the church of Zor. As they say, Sharazur means a city that has been built by Zor or Zour.
