ধ্রুপদী ফার্সি থেকে, from Middle Iranian (see Parthian 𐭅𐭓𐭉𐭇𐭓𐭌 (wryḥrm /⁠Wahrām⁠/, “war god, god of victory”) and Middle Persian 𐭥𐭫𐭧𐭫𐭠𐭭 / 𐭥𐭠𐭧𐭫𐭠𐭬 (ʿlḥlʾn / ʿʾḥlʾm /⁠Wahrām⁠/)), from আবেস্তা 𐬬𐬆𐬭𐬆𐬚𐬭𐬀𐬖𐬥𐬀 (vər^əθraγna), from প্রত্ন-ইন্দো-ইরানীয় *Wr̥tragʰnás। Related to সংস্কৃত वृत्रहन् (ৱৃত্রহন্, “smiter of vṛtra, i.e. smiting the cause of covering/hiding”)। In pre-Islamic Iran mythologically conflated with the Persian Gulf narrows (which oral tradition considered to be a remnant of the "obstruction" that was overcome by Verethragna), hence in Iranian folk etymology incorrectly identified with the toponym "Bahrain."
