• The tambourine is derived from the Middle Persian word tambur and a combination of French (tambourin) and Arab (tunbur).
• The tambourin is a long, narrow drum used in Provence, while tunbur is an Arabian name for drum. Despite the fact that some tambourines do not have drumheads, this is the origin of the word tambourine, which means "drum instrument."
