Origins and history

Hadavand people have been categorized as a branch of Lor people. In Landlord and peasant in Persia, Ann Lambton mentions Hadavand people as nomad people originally from Khorramabad.[5] also in the book Rustic & tribal weaves from Varamin, Parviz Tanavoli mentions Hadavands as Lor people while comparing Hadavand weaves with people of Lorestan and also quoting the oral history of the Hadavand as told they were a tribe who were moved from Lorestan to Fars by Karim Khan Zand and then moved to Tehran by Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar[10] A similar version of the migration story is mentioned by Iraj Afshar Sistani in his book, Moqaddame-i bar shenakht-e il-ha, chadorneshinan va tavayef-e Iran (transl. Introduction to recognition of Nomads, Tent-dwellers and Tribes of Iran).[3] In the book, Contemporary Society: Tribal Studies, Hadavand is categorized as Lur-i Kuchak branch of Lor people.[11] Iranica also mentions Hadavands as Lor people.[12] There is also a mention of a Kurdish origin by Masoud Keyhan[13] and a Lak origin.[14]

Culture

William O. Douglas narrates in his book Strange Lands and Friendly People about his encounter with the Hadavand tribe. The tribe is described as 75 families living in tents while a khan or a chief leads the tribe. He describes a Hadavand welcoming ceremony which includes a copper tray filled with hot coals raised to the guest. He describes Hadavand women as unveiled and, though shy and retiring, friendly. He mentions that economically Hadavands are dependent on goats, sheep, their dairy products and exchange of the produce with adjacent towns and cities. [15]

Hadavands were originally divided into three main tâyefes (Persian: طایفه; clan), each subsequently divided into groups known as tire (Persian: تیره). Nowadays, the name of the tribe, tâyefe, tire, or a combination of them makes up common surnames of Hadavands.
