819 Persian Girl Names Worthy Of A Princess

Persian baby girl names have been slowly but surely making their presence known across the world. Even in the US, these names have been gaining popularity among millennial parents in recent years. Persia has had a glorious past and has been an example of the most developed culture in ancient times. It is one of the oldest civilizations in the world with an archeological site revealing the civilization in 7200 BC. The Elamites ruled in Persia in the 4th millennium BC. Since then, it has been under several rulers such as the Sumerians, Assyrians, Medes, Achaemenids, Alexander the Great, the Seleucid Empire, and several others until the Muslim rule in the seventh century AD (1). Such was the fame of Persia that it spanned from Egypt in the west to the Indus river in the east with Turkey forming its northern border. It was once the biggest empire in the world (2). Persia’s heritage and traditions are deep-rooted, but thanks to globalization, certain traditions in the region are changing. The changing trend is evident in how babies are given modern names that are inspired by other cultures and not strictly Persian. Many Persian baby names nowadays are unique and often inspired by Arabic and Catholic cultures. While their literary masterpiece Shahnameh is their source of most traditional Muslim names, the Persian Christian culture is the inspiration for the modern names. Rapid urbanization and exposure to Western culture through television and social media could also have played a part in popularizing Christian names in Iran. Moreover, there are deep influences of Zoroastrianism, one of the oldest and original religions of Persia (3). Hence, you will find names that praise the Lord, are connected to nature, or describe the gentle characteristics of a woman. If you’ve been considering giving your little girl a Persian name, this post is for you. Here, we list the most popular Persian baby girl names along with their meanings.
