The name Tabari (Persian: طبري) or "al-Tabari" (Arabic الطبري) means simply "from Tabaristan", a region in north of Persia. Thus more than one scholar is known by this designation:
- Abu Jafar Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari (838-923), was the Iranian historian and theologian (the most famous and widely-influential person called al-Tabari).
- Ali ibn Sahl Rabban al-Tabari, "Ali the scholar from Tabiristan" (838-870 A.D.) was the writer of a medical encyclopedia and the teacher of the scholar physician Zakariya al-Razi.
- Abul Hasan al-Tabari, a 10th century Persian physician.
