Lankaran ; Talysh: Lənkon) is a city in Azerbaijan, on the coast of the Caspian Sea, near the southern border with Iran. It has a population of 226,799 . It is next to, but independent of, Lankaran District. The city forms a distinct first-order division of Azerbaijan.
The old form of the name was "Langarkanan" that in Persian means "the place of pulling up the anchor" : "Langar" + "kan" + "an". However, some sources state that Lankaran is said to come from the Talish words for 'Cane house', which sounds as 'Lan Karan'. Alternatively, from Median *Lankaran-, where *karan- means 'border, region, land' and Lan is probably a name of a Caspian tribe.
