Ayrums
Ayrums (Azerbaijani: Ayrımlar) are a sub-ethnic group of Azerbaijanis in the Caucasus.[1] During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, some migrated to Iran and to Turkey.[2] 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 because the traditional territory of the tribe lay in the area between the modern-day states of Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. There is no relation between Ayrom's and the Greek Orthodox, Turkic-speaking Urum people. The confusion is rooted from the lack of the Turkic sound "-ı" in Persian and its consequent representation by "-u".
