Bahram Mehrbandak or Bahram VI, commonly known as Bahram Chubin or Varham Chubineh, was the son of Bahram Gushnasp from the Mehran family (one of the seven noble families of the Sasanian Empire) and was from the city of Rey. Several reasons have been cited regarding the meaning of the nickname Chubin; the oldest account mentions that he was called Chubin (like wood) due to his tall stature and slender build

The realm of this dynasty was Ray and Tabaristan (Mazandaran). The reason for Bahram’s fame as Chubin was due to his tall and slender stature. The story of Bahram was written by an unknown author who states that in addition to being a hero in battle, Bahram possessed virtuous qualities and was recognized as a man of honor

The story of Bahram Chubine existed in a book called Bahram Chubine Nameh in ancient Iran, which unfortunately has not survived. Iranian historians such as Tabari, Dinwari, Bal’ami, and Ferdowsi have also written down some of the contents of this story

Ultimately, Bahram Chubin passed away in the city of Ferghana
