What does Pamir mean?

The high mountain region of Central Asia

In Turkish: Orta Asya'daki yüksek dağlık bölge

Pamir is a masculine name drawn from a specific geographical setting. It evokes Central Asia's high mountains, broad plateaus and distant horizons; its most reliable explanation is therefore a reference to the mountain region itself, rather than a proposed literal translation of the place name.
