Etymology

[edit]

Likely borrowed from Bactrian βαγοπουρο (bagopouro /⁠βaɣpūr⁠/), from βαγο (bago /⁠βaɣ⁠/, God, Lord) +‎ πουρο (pouro /⁠pūr⁠/, son), possibly a calque of Chinese 天子 (tiānzǐ, emperor [of China], literally son of heaven). Equivalent to 𐼱𐼲𐼷 (βɣy /⁠βaɣi⁠/, God, Lord) +‎ 𐼱𐼲𐼾𐼹𐽀𐼰𐼸 (βɣpδrʾk /⁠piθrē, pišē⁠/, son). Doublet of 𐫁𐫄𐫛𐫢𐫏𐫏 (bɣpšyy /⁠βaɣpəšē⁠/) and 𐼂𐼄𐼔𐼌𐼘𐼊 (βɣpδry /⁠βaɣpəθrē, βaɣpəšē, βaɣpiši⁠/). Cognate with Parthian 𐫁𐫃𐫛𐫇𐫍𐫡 (bgpwhr /⁠baγpuhr⁠/, son of God, Jesus).
