He was a direct descendant of Timur, from the Mongol Barlas clan, through his father, and a descendant also of Genghis Khan through his mother.

According to Stephen Frederic Dale, the name Babur is derived from the Mongol word “bar“ meaning "tiger", a word that repeatedly appears in Firdawsī's Shāhnāma. This thesis is supported by the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland.
