Etymology 2
editBorrowed from Aramaic 𐡂𐡁𐡓𐡀 (gbrʾ /gaḇrā/, “man; person”), reflected in the Middle Persian logogram (huzvarishn) GBRA (mard, “man”). The Persian word was probably used in pre-Islamic Persia to refer to some Zoroastrians in Mesopotamia (inhabited by many Aramaeans).
Traditionally has been derived from Arabic كَافِر (kāfir, “unbeliever”), but that is problematic on phonetic and semantic grounds.
See Shaki in Encyclopædia Iranica for more.
