More Persian names

Kaveh

From Avestan "Kavi" or Old Persian "Kāva", relating to the ancient priestly-royal caste of seers in Iranian tradition. In the Shahnameh, Kaveh the Blacksmith is the heroic commoner who rises against the serpent tyrant Zahhak and whose leather apron, raised as a standard, becomes the legendary Derafsh Kaviani — the royal banner of Persia for over a thousand years.

Leila

The Persian form of the Arabic Layla, from the root meaning night, conveying dark beauty, mystery, and longing. In Persian Sufi poetry, Leila represents the divine beloved — the soul's yearning for union with God is expressed as the madman Majnun's endless, hopeless love for Leila.

Soraya

From Persian "Sorayā", the Persian name for the Pleiades star cluster — the same constellation called "Parveen" in classical Persian poetry. The Pleiades were used to mark seasons for agriculture and navigation, and their Persian name carries associations of celestial beauty, rare clustering of brilliance, and the melancholy beauty of distant stars.

Golnaz

From Persian "gol" (flower, rose) and "nāz" (coquetry, grace, pride, affectation), meaning "the grace of the flower" or "the coquetry of the rose". In Persian, "nāz" carries a positive connotation of the endearing affectation and playful coyness of a beloved — an untranslatable quality of graceful pride that makes someone irresistible.

Siavash

From Avestan "Syāvarshān" or Middle Persian "Syāwaxsh", meaning "owner of the black stallion" or "black stallion" — combining "siyāh" (black) and "asp" (horse). Siavash is one of the most beloved and tragic figures in the Shahnameh: a prince of exceptional purity and beauty who is falsely accused by his stepmother and seeks exile, only to be murdered in a foreign land.

Shirin

From the Persian word "shīrīn" meaning sweet, pleasant, or charming. Shirin is the heroine of one of the most celebrated love stories in Persian literature — the tale of Khosrow and Shirin by the poet Nizami Ganjavi — in which the Armenian princess Shirin is fought over by the Sassanid king Khosrow II and the sculptor Farhad.
