Feminine names of Persian origin have an unusual, but rich sound. As a result, they gained popularity not only in Iran, but also in other states. It is worth noting that modern Western and Eastern names were borrowed from the ancient times from the Persians and continue to be actively used at the present time.
Having a baby is a holy feast. All expectations and experiences are accompanied by chores: arranging a room, reading literature, preparing a wardrobe. Perhaps this algorithm of action is present in every family, regardless of religion and nation. But during the hassle comes a moment for which it seems to be prepared. But it's still hard to make a name choice. Muslims canโt call the baby any one they like, itโs important to get a good understanding of its meaning, because a child with this name lives all his life. But first things first.
Patterns of choice
Considering Persian female names, it is necessary to note several criteria that guide parents in choosing a name. Firstly, it should be pleasant and gentle by ear, so that in the future the husband would like to call exclusively him. Secondly, the name should carry a certain historical value. For example, in honor of one of the associates of the Prophet, a relative or a close and revered person. For many, modern trends are not so important as their affiliation with Islam and the mention of the Koran. Therefore, some sound strict and solid, they do not have the slightest hint of beauty. After all, everyone knows that this is a relative concept, and everyone has an opinion on this.
Value
Almost all Persian female names have an ancient history and roots. Most people borrowed from the Arabic language. As a rule, the meaning of these names is associated with religion, the internal and external qualities of a person. Often, Iranians call their children by date of birth, namely the month in which the child appeared.
As for girls, they are most often named after the planets, stars, months of the lunar year or the sun. Among the popular female Persian names there are many such where the meaning is associated with plants, flowers, precious stones and birds.
The role of ancient traditions in the formation of Persian names
The Persians managed to preserve many of the original traditions of the name. That is why in the modern world, the use of common names created in pre-Islamic time continues.
As part of many, there is a particle of "Azer", which means "fire". The meaning of these names is associated with Zoroastrianism. The followers of the ancient religion believed that the flame is able to pervade everything around, starting with man and ending with the rest of the elements of life. Thus, by including the particle "Azer" in the name of the child, the parents provided him with a happy life and inner harmony.
