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.

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.

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.

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.

From Persian "Tahmineh", possibly derived from Middle Persian elements meaning "strong" or "the mighty one".

Bahram

From Avestan "Verethragna", the Zoroastrian deity of victory and the personification of martial triumph, whose name passed through Middle Persian as "Wahram" and then "Bahram".
