Ayrums (Azeri: ayrım; Armenian: այրում) are an Urum tribe of the Caucasus, believed to be direct descendants of Greek colonialists. More recently, they have become assimilated by Azeris, Armenians[citation needed], and other Caucasian peoples. In the early 20th century, a handful of Ayrums migrated to Turkey and Iran. 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
The Ayrums are descended from the Hayhurums[citation needed] and Greek Orthodox Caucasian Albanians, who were later Islamized.[1][dead link]
