Persian literature is one of the most unique and a source of beautiful names for boys and girls. A masterpiece of Persian literature, the Shahnameh or “Epic of Kings” alone is the origin for about 15% of the names. Some names, though derived from the Arabic language, have Persian origin.
The Persian culture, which includes specific naming traditions, has changed with globalization. While some parents pick traditional names from books like Shahnameh, others prefer modern names inspired by Arabic Christians.
