Bad-roch, or ‘evil day.’

Colonel E. Mockler

mentions another popular derivation of the name, according

to which Baloch is compared to Bad-roch, or ‘evil day.’ This is another of the
punning and abusive nicknames given to the race by others who had suffered
from their depredations. Colonel Mockler, however, thinks that Badroch, or
Badrosh, in Balochi may be taken as ‘equivalent to Gadrosh, or Gadros, of the
more ancient Pehlevi, or Zend, and to Gadros-ii, or Gedrosii, of the Greeks.
