Mir Mughal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mir Mughal, mostly just spelled as 'Mir' or 'Meer' (Kashmiri: میٖر, Persian: مير), is a Kashmiri Muslim clan found both in the Kashmir Valley of Jammu and Kashmir, India, and among the Kashmiri diaspora.

The word "Mir" is a shortened form of the Persian word Mirza, meaning a person of princely blood. Mir in this sense is a short form of Mirza which was a honourable title for Mughals. They are descendents of Mughals who came to Kashmir from Khorasan and Turkestan in 14th century.[1][2]
