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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
Tahmineh
“From Persian "Tahmineh", possibly derived from Middle Persian elements meaning "strong" or "the mighty one". In the Shahnameh, Tahmineh is the daughter of the King of Samangan who seeks out the hero Rostam to bear his child, and becomes the mother of the tragic Sohrab — a woman who acts with agency and desire in a world that rarely allows women either.”
Firdaus
“From the Persian "firdaws" meaning paradise or garden of paradise, derived from Old Iranian or possibly Avestan roots — the word passed into Arabic and then into the English word "paradise" via Greek "paradeisos". Firdausi (Abu'l-Qasim Ferdowsi) was the great 10th–11th century Persian epic poet who composed the Shahnameh, spending thirty years on his masterwork.”
