Ayrums (Azeri: ayrım; Armenian: այրում) were a Turkic-speaking tribe in the Caucasus. They became assimilated by Azeris and possibly Armenians[citation needed] in the late 19th century. Some Azeris from the Gazakh-Agstafa region may still be aware of their Ayrum roots. In the 19th century, some Ayrums migrated to Iran and others to Turkey. Toponyms derived from the word "Ayrum" still exist (or existed until recent decades) in northwestern Azerbaijan and northeastern Armenia, e.g. Mets Ayrum, Pokr Ayrum, Baganis-Ayrum, Polad-Ayrum, Gushchu-Ayrum, etc.
History
Some ethnographers, such as Veniamin Kobychev and Alasgar Alakbarov, believed that those Azeris from Azerbaijan's Gazakh and Agstafa districts, as well as from Armenia's Tavush province, who are referred to be a sub-ethnic term "Ayrum", in fact descend from Hayhurums[citation needed] and Greek Orthodox Caucasian Albanians, who were later Islamized.[1][dead link] However, this theory was challenged by theories advanced by Vladimir Minorsky, Ivan Meshchaninov and Mammad-Hasan Valiyev (Baharli)[citation needed], who argued that Ayrums were originally Turkic-speaking late migrants from either Persia or the Ottoman empire.
Few notable Ayrums include: Reza Shah of Iran's mother Noush-Afarin Ayromlou; Reza Shah's second wife and queen-consort of Iran, Tadj ol-Molouk Ayromlou; and her first cousin General Muhammad-Husayn Ayrom, who was a high-ranking general in the Persian Cossack Brigade.
