Origins of the name

Possible origins of the name according to [http://www.balabanov.com/ Dr. Tudor Balabanov] :

:1. in the Kazakh Mountains there is an eagle called Balaban from which the name may be derived.

:2. One of the recipients of this name may have been the Persians that around 4000 years ago started naming the leading three soldiers of a battalion, namely: the one with the flag, those with a drum, and the one with a blow instrument - the Balabans.

:3. The Turks may have taken over this name and given it to the relatively tall non-Muslim men from their territories.
