history
The name Lak could be derived from the Persian numeral lak (لك) originate for hundreds of thousands and thus denote the original number of Lak families. The Laks are historically important insofar as the dynasty of the Zand princes , who ruled Iran in the 18th century, is of Lacian origin. History shows that the Laks immigrated from the north to their current settlement area. According to the author Rabino, the Laks were settled there on the orders of Shah Abbas .
