Tar-Baphon name

[Kavlor]

Maybe stupid and already answered question, but why exactly Tar-Baphon named this way and what it means? As we know, he is a varisian necromancer from early history of Avistan. His name have part "Tar" which meaning I doesn't know, but it also used by dwarves in their states Tar Taargadth and Tar Khadurrm and seems to mean something like Empire, since other words in this names are modified names of founder of this states. So... why Tar-Baphon used dwarven word to name himself? I know, this is strage question that seems doesn't interest anyone besides me, but I wanna know answer.

As far as I know, "Tar" is neither a reference to the English word for the stuff in the pits at La Brea, CA, nor a reference to the dwarven word. In fact, the name and character were made up years before Pathfinder was even a thing, as one of the antagonists for our non-D&D generic OGL "Compleate Encounters" back when we were doing the D&D magazines.

AKA: "Tar" is just a coincidence here.
