More Persian names

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". 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.

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.

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.

Golnaz

From Persian "gol" (flower, rose) and "nāz" (coquetry, grace, pride, affectation), meaning "the grace of the flower" or "the coquetry of the rose". In Persian, "nāz" carries a positive connotation of the endearing affectation and playful coyness of a beloved — an untranslatable quality of graceful pride that makes someone irresistible.

Shahram

From Old Persian and Middle Persian "shāh" (king) and "rām" (peaceful, tranquil, happy), meaning "peaceful king" or "king of peace". The name Rām is also associated with the Zoroastrian deity of joy and peace, giving the name a spiritual resonance in Persian tradition.

Kamran

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.
