More Persian names

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.

Farhad

From Old Persian or Middle Persian, meaning "happy" or "joyful prosperity", related to Persian "farr" (divine glory or royal splendor). Farhad is the stonecutter who falls hopelessly in love with Shirin in the Persian epic Khosrow and Shirin by Nizami Ganjavi — his unrequited devotion, expressed through carving a milk canal through a mountain, became the archetype of self-destructive romantic obsession.

Scheherazade

From Persian "Shahrazad", compounded from "shahr" (city) and "azad" (free, noble-born), meaning "city-born" or "of noble urban lineage". Some scholars derive "shahr" from Old Persian meaning "wide kingdom", giving the meaning "of the wide realm". Shahrazad is the iconic frame narrator of One Thousand and One Nights, who saves her life by telling stories night after night.

Rudabeh

From Old Persian or Middle Persian, with "Ruda" possibly related to Old Iranian "raodha" meaning growth, or a reference to a river (rud in Persian means river). Rudabeh is the daughter of the King of Kabul in the Shahnameh, who falls in love with the white-haired hero Zal and famously lets down her long hair from the tower window for him to climb — a Persian Rapunzel centuries before the European tale.

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.

Kian

From Old Persian "Kay" or "Kayan", a title of ancient Iranian kings meaning "king" or "royal". The Kayanid dynasty was the legendary ruling house of ancient Iran in the Shahnameh, and names beginning with "Kay" or "Kian" carry connotations of ancient royal dignity. Kian is also related to Avestan "kyā" (being, existence) and in modern Persian is associated with the concept of existence and essence.
