The name Afrin has ancient roots and a definition of the word Afrin. It is pronounced Ab Rain, and its abbreviation is Afrin, which means Kurdish running water.
Around the fourteenth century AD, there was a bridge called the Qibar Bridge in the city’s location, named after Ali Qibar, the owner of the Qibar Fort, and its ruins still exist in the northwest of the village of the Qibar Throne.
In the ninth century B.C., the Assyrians took control of the region, and the Afrin River was mentioned in their blogs under the name Abri, which has no meaning in Arabic. Rather, it is Kurdish, consisting of two syllables, ab, meaning water, and ri, meaning road, stream, or torrent. There is no doubt that this name was in use at that time, so use it. The Assyrians as it is, and then the Arabs after the Islamic conquests to Afrin, the most suitable for Arabic phonetics, as mentioned in the dictionary of countries by Yaqut al-Hamawi.
