Tribe of Jammu and Kashmir, North India

Mir Mughal tribe is found in the North Indian state of Jammu & Kashmir. The word "Mir" is a shortened form of the Persian word mirza, meaning a person of princely blood. It was also a common title among the Sayyids of the Kashmir Valley, and the way the two groups distinguish themselves is that the Sayyids prefix the word 'Mir' to their names (e.g., Mir Mubarak and Mir Maqbool), whereas the non-Sayyids use it as a suffix to their names. (e.g., Aziz Mir, Gaffar Mir etc.)
