Persian names

Persian names blend Farsi, Arabic, and Old Persian roots — a thousand years of poets, kings, and everyday life layered into sound. Some go back to the Zoroastrian faith, others arrived with Islam, and a few came from Greek or Armenian neighbors. Names like Esther and Jasmine sit alongside Dana and Corey, mixing ancient tradition with the way cultures shift names across borders.
What makes Persian naming different is how a single name often carries multiple lives. Lila might mean 'night' in Persian while echoing older Sanskrit roots; others honor historical figures or virtues the family hopes to pass down. You'll find the meaning and origin for each name here, so you know not just how to say it, but why a parent chose it.
