The name is of uncertain origin, partly because accounts disagree on where the tribe originated. In the Mahāmāyūrī text, they are placed somewhere between Bactria and Kapisi (modern Afghanistan), suggesting an Iranian origin; while other inner-Indian texts describe them as aborigines/barbarians from the Himalayas.[1]
