Random information on the term “BOAC”:
Abadan (Persian: آبادان Ābādān) is a city in and the capital of Abadan County, Khuzestan Province which is located in central west of Iran. It lies on Abadan Island (68 km or 42 mi long, 3–19 km or 2–12 miles wide), the island is bounded in the west by the Arvand waterway and to the east by the Bahmanshir outlet of the Karun River (the Shatt al-Arab), 53 kilometres (33 mi) from the Persian Gulf, near the Iraqi-Iran border.
The earliest mention of the island of Abadan, if not the port itself is found in works of the geographer Marcian, who renders the name “Apphadana”. Earlier, the classical geographer, Ptolemy notes “Apphana” as an island off the mouth of the Tigris (which is, where the modern Island of Abadan is located). An etymology for this name is presented by ‘B. Farahvashi to be derived from the Persian word “ab” (water) and the root “pā” (guard, watch) thus “coastguard station”).
In the Islamic times, a pseudo-etymology was produced by the historian Ahmad ibn Yahya al-Baladhuri (d.892) quoting a folk story that the town was presumably founded by one “Abbad bin Hosayn” from the Arabian Tribe of Banu Tamim, who established a garrison there during the governorship of Hajjaj in the Ummayad period.
