"بلوچ" meaning in Persian

See بلوچ in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [ba.ˈloːt͡ʃ] [Classical-Persian], [bä.lóːt͡ʃ] [Dari, formal], [bä.lóːt͡ʃ] [Dari, formal], [bä.lóːt͡ʃ] [Kabuli], [bä.lʊ́ːt͡ʃ] (note: Hazaragi), [bæ.lúːt͡ʃ] [Iran, formal], [bä.lút͡ʃ] [Tajik, formal] Forms: baluč [romanization], بلوچها [plural], بلوچان [plural]
Etymology: Etymology is unclear and disputed. Early attestations First attested (in any language) in Ḥudūd al-ʿĀlam (c. 982) as بلوج; note that the non-Arabic letter چ (č) was not properly established in the period. Also found in Shāhnāma (c. 1010), where it is clear that this is /balōč/ and not /*balūč/ given that it rhymes with کوچ (kōč, “wandering tribe”). Further, the word Middle Persian [script needed] (blwcʾn) in Šahrestānīhā ī Ērānšahr (600s) has been read as /*balōč-ān/ with plural suffix /-ān/. However, the Šahrestānīhā claims that this people existed near Tabaristan on the Caspian coast, which is very far from the Baluch country. [script needed] (blwcʾn) seems more likely to be /*barōzān/, a settlement actually located in the region. Perhaps related to some Punjabi words with similar suffixes, جھنگوچی (jhaṉgocī) and تھࣇوچی (thaḷocī).
