Dicle (Template:Lang-ku,[2] Template:Lang-ota[3]) is a town and district of Diyarbakır Province, Turkey. The population was 8,436 in 2010. The Mayor is Felat Aygören from the HDP.[4]
Dicle is the Kurdish and Turkish name of the Tigris river, which runs through the district and gave its name to it. The name derives from tighri- (arrow) from Avestan[5] and cognate with "tîj, tîr" (sharp, arrow) in Kurdish[6][7] and tigra- (sharp, pointed) in Old Persian. Some claim that it derives from through Akkadian Idiqlat from the original Sumerian name for the river, Idigna.
