Parsua

Parsua (earlier Parsuash, Parsumash) was an ancient tribal kingdom/chiefdom ^[1] (860-600 BC) located near Lake Urmia between Zamua (formerly: Lullubi) and Ellipi, in central Zagros to the southwest of Piranshahr, northwestern Iran. The name Parsua is from an old Iranian word *Parsava and it is presumed to mean border or borderland.^[2]

Parsua was distinct from Persis, another region to the southeast, now known as Fars province in Iran. Some accounts suggest that Teispes, the ancestor of the Achaemenid dynasty, led a migration from Parsua to Persis, formerly the Elamite state of Anshan.
