Abstract

All lexicographers and exponents and interpreters of the Sahnameh have recorded Mafarrokan as two words "Ma" and "farrokan" and suggested various meanings for it. In this paper, the writer argues that a close examination of the word and its connection with the previous and subsequent lines indicate that it is a single word, the name of a place from where Keyqobad came to Iran. The word is probably a variant of Mah Farrokan, name of a village surrounding Estahbanat at Fars appearing in Fars-nameh. As was customary with the place names starting with "Mah" (the moon), the word was often shortened as "Ma", and it was recorded as Mafarrokan in the Sahnameh to meet the metrical requirements. According to the Sahnameh, Keyqobad originally comes from the Alborz mountains, but since in the Sahnameh, Alborz is referred to as a mountain existing in all places, including Fars, it is possible that Keyqobad comes from Mafarrokan, that part of the Alborz mountain which was situated in Fars. Thus, the writer concludes, the word should be recorded as a place name in geographical dictionaries.
