Bamarni

Bamarni (Arabic: بامرني,[2] Kurdish: بامه‌رنێ, romanized: Bamernê,[3][4] Syriac: Beṯ Mūrdānī,[5] Hebrew: במרני)[2] is a village and sub-district in the Dohuk Governorate in Kurdistan Region, Iraq.

The village is located in a mountain gorge and has a strong Naqshbandi presence.

[6] Bamarni is first attested as an Assyrian Christian village with the name Beṯ Mūrdānī in the 10th-century Life of Rabban Joseph Busnaya whose inhabitants adhered to the Church of the East.

[8] In the early 20th century, Bamarni was the residence of the Naqshbandi Sheikh Bahā al-Dīn, whose house and takiyya was destroyed by the British in August 1919, but was later permitted to return.
