Zahir-Ud-Din Muhammad Babur was born on Friday the 6th Muharram, & his name was chosen by a spiritual guide, Khwaja Nasir-Ud-Din Ubaid-Ullah Ahrari, the most revered name in Transoxiana during that period. His Cousin Mirza Haidar Dughlat however says that he was named by Maulana Munir Marghinain, one of the Ulemas of Aulugh Beg Mirza.

It is believed that Chaghatai were very rude and uncultured and not refined as they are today, and they found Zahir-Ud-Din Muhammad difficult to pronounce and for this reason gave him the name as "Babur"(Ref: A Numismatic Study by Aman Ur Rahman). Babar Silver Tankas also Known as Shahrukhis and after invading India, this Tankas or Shahrukhis were struck principally at Kabul, Lahore, Agra, Jaunpur and Delhi.
