Etymology

Probably from Ottoman Turkish بهار (bahâr, “spring (season)”), from Persian بهار (bahâr, “spring (season)”).

The semantic shift might be explained by a coincidence of holidays celebrated on March 9: Bulgarian Turks celebrate the first day of spring, and the festival is called Март Докузу (equivalent to mart (“March”) +‎ dokuz (“nine”)) or Илък Бахар (equivalent to ilk (“first”) +‎ bahar (“spring”) or ilkbahar). Christians celebrate the feast day of the Forty Martyrs of Sebaste, who were forced to enter a frigid lake without any clothes until they recanted their Christian faith.
