Dicle is a district of Diyarbakır.
Dicle (Kurdish: Pîran Ottoman Turkish: پيران) is a municipality and district of Diyarbakır Province, Turkey. Its area is 738 km2, and its population is 36,114 (2022). It is populated by Kurds. The mayor is Felat Aygören from the HDP. 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 and cognate with "tîj, tîr" (sharp, arrow) in Kurdish and tigra- (sharp, pointed) in Old Persian. Some claim that it derives from Akkadian Idiqlat through the original Sumerian name for the river, Idigna.
