Proper name

IPA: [taβ.ˈɾeːz] [Classical-Persian], [t̪ʰäb.ɾéːz] [Dari, formal], [t̪ʰäb.ɾéːz] [Dari, formal], [t̪ʰäb.ɾéːz] [Kabuli], [t̪ʰäb.ɾéːz] (note: Hazaragi), [t̪ʰæb.ɹíːz] [Iran, formal], [t̪ʰäb.ɾéz] [Tajik, formal] Audio: LL-Q9168 (fas)-Mazanin (مازنین)-تبریز.wav Forms: tabriz [romanization]
Etymology: Unknown. After the earliest resemblance it has been implied of Urartian origin by being equated with Neo-Assyrian mentions of cities [script needed] (Tarwi, Tarui) and [script needed] (Tarmakisa, Tarwakisa) in the Sangibutu = Gilzanu = Baru = Bāri district occupied by Urartu, which equation however has been reckoned far-fetched, seemingly because this region is to the west of Lake Urmia, “though it must be stressed that the concept of a linear boundary wholly fails to express the complex patterns of relationships which existed between neighbouring regions and interspersed peoples,” leading to the suggestion of Iranian origin since the area of Tabriz was territory of the Medes known by another homonymous Sangibuti, possibly equivalent to تو (taw, “pool, puddle”) + ریز (rēz, “flow”) as in إِبْرِيق (ʔibrīq) referring to the springs of mineral water that rise on the slopes of Mount Sahand; however a place-forming suffix ـویج (-vīj) is known, attached to تر (tar, “fresh, moist”) in the Sarpol-e Zahab County village name ترویج (tarvij, literally “watery place”).
