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.
