It is also believed that the Dom or Domi people of the Middle East, in addition to the Roma of Europe, are descendants of Domba, who were taken, or traveled, to Sassanid Persia as servants and musicians.

==Origin of the word Dom==
Its presumed root, ''ḍom'', which is connected with drumming, is linked to ''damara'' and ''damaru'', Sanskrit terms for "drum" and the Sanskrit verbal root डम् ''ḍam-'' 'to sound (as a drum)', perhaps a loan from Dravidian, e.g. Kannada ''ḍamāra'' 'a pair of kettle-drums', and Telugu ''ṭamaṭama'' 'a drum, tomtom'.〔T. Burrow and M.B. Emeneau, ''A Dravidian Etymological Dictionary'' 2nd ed. (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1984), p. 257, entry #2949.〕
