Nawwar

Nawwar
(Nuri)
   A clan of Gypsies living in Lebanon, Syria, and elsewhere in the Middle East. They call themselves Dom and speak a language of Indian origin, related to Romani. The name may have originally meant "blacksmith"-from the Arabic word nar (fire). In 1912 two Nuri women from Jaffa traveled through Germany with a circus troupe. Since about 1970 a number of individuals and families have come to western Europe, including Great Britain.
