Then, considering the structure of the word, the author investigates other derivatives made from the root "Kar", which is the foundation and basis of the word Kerman, and finally, suggests the meaning "land of weaving and weaving" for Kerman.
Various indications and suggestions have been made regarding the meaning and etymology of the word "Kerman"; among them is the theory that "Kerman" is from the root ẓkarẒ (*)Date of article receipt: 18/11/01 Date of final acceptance: 28/21/02 Author's email address: meaning fighting, and "man" meaning house or built place, and together, it has been named* meaning "land of war or land of warrior men"; however, this etymology and reason for naming does not align with the historical background of Kerman, and no evidence confirming this suggestion is found in works of Iranian history and culture.
However, Iranian writers, as they have customarily done for all cities of Iran, whether correct or incorrect, have also provided suggestions for the word "Kerman".
To confirm this suggestion, other derivatives from this same root, while maintaining this same meaning in Persian and Iranian dialects, can be identified: Kar Farhang-e Nezam writes: a place for weaving fabric and carpets.
Kargah In early Persian, it has come to mean a place of weaving: -The whole city is adorned with silk and ornaments, like a patterned 'kargah' (Garshasp-nameh, p.
Conclusion Based on what has passed, the word Kerman can be considered derived from the root "kar" meaning to weave and the suffix "man" meaning land.
