Bahar (Persian: بهار‎‎) means the season of Spring in Persian, Kurdish, Urdu, Azerbaijani, and Turkish. Baħar also means sea in Maltese, derived from the Arabic word Baḥr (Arabic: Ø¨ØØ±â€Žâ€Ž). In Arabic itself, though, BahÄr (Arabic: بهار‎‎) means seasoning (spices), while BaḥÄr (Arabic: Ø¨ØØ§Ø±â€Žâ€Ž) means sailor.
