Bahar

Directly from the Persian word "bahār" meaning spring — the season of renewal, blossoming flowers, and returning life after winter. Spring is the most celebrated season in Persian poetry and culture, associated with Nowruz (Persian New Year), youth, beauty, and the short-lived intensity of bloom before the heat of summer.

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.

Manijeh

From Middle Persian "Manizha" or "Manijeh", possibly meaning "shining" or "precious jewel" — a name associated with light and rare value. In the Shahnameh, Manijeh is the Turanian princess who falls in love with the Iranian hero Bijan, hides him in a pit to save his life, and endures great suffering to keep him alive — one of Ferdowsi's most moving portraits of female devotion.

Nasrin

From the Persian word "nasrīn" meaning wild rose or eglantine, referring to the delicate climbing rose that grows in Persian gardens and has been celebrated in Persian poetry for its beauty and fragrance since antiquity. The wild rose is a central symbol of beauty, love, and transience in the Persian poetic tradition.

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.
