Ayrums (Azeri: ayrım; Armenian: այրում) are a Turkic-speaking sub-ethnic group of Azeris in Caucasus. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, some migrated to Iran and to Turkey. At least six towns in northwestern Azerbaijan and northeastern Armenia have been named after the tribe: Ayrum, Mets Ayrum, Bağanis Ayrum, Quşçu Ayrım, Yuxarı Ayrım, Mollaayrım. This is due to the fact that the traditional territory of the tribe lied in the area between the modern-day states of Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. There is no relation between Ayrums and Greek Muslim Urum people. The confusion is rooted from the lack of the Turkish sound "-ı" in Persian and its consequent representation by "-u".
