(Redirected from Mah Shahr)
'Mah Shahr' is an ancient city and port in the Khuzestan province in southwestern Iran. Originally known as ''Machuleh'' and ''Mahrouyan'', it eventually came to be known as ''Bandar-e Ma'shoor''. The name changed again in 1965, this time to ''Bandar-e Mah Shahr''.
The word ''mah'' is Avestan for "moon", and ''shahr'' is Old Persian for "city", "land" or "realm", and thus ''Mahshahr'' can be translated to mean "city of the moon" (the Avestan and Old Persian languages were contemporary with one another, and in use in ancient Iran during the same period).
