Arran (Azerbaijan)
Aran or Arran, possibly the same as, or overlapping, Caucasian Albania, is the name of a region in Caucasus which since 1918 has become the Republic of Azerbaijan and Azerbaijan SSR. This new name was taken from the name of the Iranian province of Azarbaijan by the Ottoman empire and was later used to designate the newly created Soviet SSR, formed by incorporating the regions of Aran, Shervan and Talish-i Gushtasbi. Azarbaijan (in north-western Iran) has had that name from the ancient times.
