The Ajam of Bahrain (Arabic: عجم البحرین), also known as Persian Bahrainis or Iranian Bahrainis, are an ethnic group in Bahrain composed of Bahraini citizens of Iranian ancestry.[4]

Most families are Shi’ite, although there are a number of Sunni families of Achomi ancestry.[2][3][5] They are mostly bilingual in Persian and Arabic. The Ajam are found in significant numbers in Manama, Muharraq, and Shi’ite majority areas such as Saar, Diraz and Samaheej. Both Samaheej and Diraz have their names derived from Farsi.[6]
