Nakhuda (Persian: ناخدا, romanized: nākhodā, lit. 'captain') is derived from the Middle Persian nāw khudāy "master of the boat".[1]
Historically, people with this epithet are Muslim and Kamili Jewish ship-owning merchants of Persian origin known to have crossed the Persian Gulf to trade in other coastal areas of the world. Besides in Southern Iran those with the surname Nakhuda can be found in coastal areas of the world in small numbers such as the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Yemen, Oman, Pakistan, Malaysia and India. It is also a title historically associated with pearl diving;
[2] The modern Gulf Arabic term is قبطان, ultimately a loanword from Latin capitāneus.
There is a town called Nakhl-e Nakhoda in Southern Iran in Hormozgan province on the Persian Gulf.[3]
Arabian Pearling vessels would typically take to sea with the Nakhuda, assistant Mijadimi, a singer Nahham, some eight divers Ghais, and ten haulers Saib. The cook on the vessel was titled Jallas. Larger boats would even include a Muttawa to lead prayers.[2][4]
The vessels ranged from the relatively small Banoosh to the 100-foot Jalboot, a corruption of the English term jollyboat.[5][6] The trade was lucrative - at the turn of the 19th century, revenues from the Gulf pearl trade were estimated at some £1,434,000, with an additional £30,439 of this earned from mother-of-pearl.[7]
In the early 20th century, Lorimer[who?] recorded 1200 boats involved in the trade across the Trucial States, each carrying an average crew of 18.[7]
