About Persian names

Persian names come from one of the world's great poetic traditions, and it shows — meanings favor stars, gardens, flowers, and light. Many trace to classical literature, especially the epic Shahnameh, whose heroes and heroines still name children today. The sounds are melodic and vowel-rich: Darius, Roxana, Cyrus, Yasmin — names that feel ornamental and ancient at once.

Meaning and origin are editorial; U.S. popularity comes from Social Security Administration public files.
