From the Turkic and Persian "arslan" meaning lion — one of the oldest and most widespread Turkic names, carried by Seljuk sultans and Persian heroes. The lion has been the supreme symbol of courage, royalty, and divine power across Iranian, Turkic, and Arab cultures for millennia.

A honorific epithet meaning "from Rum" (Anatolia/the Byzantine lands), referring to Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Balkhi, the 13th-century Persian Sufi poet and mystic who lived in Konya, Turkey. Rumi is one of the most celebrated poets in history, whose masterwork the Masnavi is called the "Quran in Persian".

Firdaus

From the Persian "firdaws" meaning paradise or garden of paradise, derived from Old Iranian or possibly Avestan roots — the word passed into Arabic and then into the English word "paradise" via Greek "paradeisos". Firdausi (Abu'l-Qasim Ferdowsi) was the great 10th–11th century Persian epic poet who composed the Shahnameh, spending thirty years on his masterwork.

Golnaz

From Persian "gol" (flower, rose) and "nāz" (coquetry, grace, pride, affectation), meaning "the grace of the flower" or "the coquetry of the rose".

Rostam

Derived from Old Iranian "Raodhastakhma" meaning "with a strong body" or "stout as a bull", rooted in Avestan words for strength and might. Rostam is the greatest hero of the Persian national epic, the Shahnameh (Book of Kings) by Ferdowsi, whose seven labors (Haft Khan) and tragic killing of his own son Sohrab are among the most dramatic episodes in world literature.

Jasper

Jasper is a masculine given name of Persian origin, derived from the Old Persian yashp meaning "treasurer." It became widely used in medieval Europe through the tradition of naming one of the Three Wise Men Jasper (or Caspar). The name has no etymological connection to the gemstone jasper, which derives from a different root.
