Mazari means the son of Mazar, the ‘tiger,’ a true Baloch form. Dr. Bellow
identifies the tribe with the Mysari, ‘Indian Desert Tribe.’ I have not been able toobtain any information as to the Mysari, but the name, if correctly given, looks
like a corruption of Maheswari (like Mysore, from Maheswar) Dr. Bellew also
derives the Pathan tribe of the Sulaimans, known as Zmari, from a Hindu tribe
Maisari, perhaps the same. He does not note that Mzarai or Zmarai in Pashto
means the same as Mazar in Balochi, ‘a tiger.’
