Panjgur or Pangor, transliterated and misspelled in arabic as Bannajbur or Fannazbur is a small town in Panjgur District, Balochistan. It is known for growing dates. The name drives its origins from blending of two balochi words i.e "Panj" meaning five and "Goran" meaning highland i.e Land of 5 highlands. As the name suggests Panjgur is situated 980 meters above sea level and constitutes the only highland of Makran region. The origins of the word "Goran" are unclear but some scholars believe the name originates from the Avestan word gairi meaning mountain. Additionally, the presence of areas surrounding Panjgur carrying the name Goran, such as Chokgoran meaning "small highland" and Mazangoran "big highland" point to the identical origin of the name. However, it is also contented that the name Panjgur might be a portmanteau of another two Balochi words i.e Panj and Goor meaning five graves.
