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.”
Kamran
Persian · “From Persian "kāmrān" meaning successful, fortunate, or one whose wishes have been fulfilled, derived from "kām" (wish, desire) and "rān" (possessing, ruling). The name conveys the Persian ideal of a man blessed by fortune who achieves the goals he sets for himself.”
Bahram
Persian · “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". Bahram is a name of kings and heroes in the Shahnameh, most notably Bahram Gur, the legendary Sassanid king celebrated for his hunting prowess and love of poetry.”
Cyrus
Old Persian · “From Old Persian "Kūruš", whose etymology is debated — possible meanings include "sun" (from Elamite "kuraš"), "throne", or "humiliator of the enemy in verbal contest". Cyrus the Great founded the Achaemenid Persian Empire and is celebrated in the Hebrew Bible (Isaiah, Ezra) as a liberator who freed the Jewish exiles from Babylon.”

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.”
Aslan
“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.”
Parisa
“From Persian "parī" (fairy, supernatural being of great beauty) and the suffix "-sā" (like, resembling), meaning "like a fairy" or "fairy-faced". The "pari" in Persian mythology is an angelic being of luminous beauty, distinct from the mischievous spirits of Western folklore — they are creatures of light, grace, and divine favor.”
Farrukh
“From Old Persian and Avestan "farrux" meaning auspicious, fortunate, or of good omen — related to the Persian "farr" (divine glory, royal splendor, the sacred fire of kingship). The name conveys the blessing of divine fortune and a life lived under favorable celestial omens.”
Sohrab
“From Old Persian or Middle Persian, possibly meaning "red water" or "brilliant red" (from "sūr" meaning red/brilliant and "āb" meaning water). Sohrab is the tragic son of Rostam in the Shahnameh — a young hero of extraordinary bravery who travels to find his father, only to meet him in single combat, where neither recognizes the other until Sohrab is mortally wounded.”
Fereydun
“From Old Iranian "Thraetaona" or Avestan "Θraētaona", a name of ancient mythological resonance connected to the concept of the threefold power of the universe. Fereydun is the heroic king of the Shahnameh who slays the serpent-tyrant Zahhak with the divine club (gorz), divides his kingdom between his three sons, and whose story echoes the most ancient Indo-Iranian mythological patterns.”
