Persian baby boy names are unique and melodious as they draw inspiration from Persian literature, which is rich and a source of beautiful names for boys and girls. Some names, though derived from the Arabic language, have Persian origin. This is due to the Muslim Arab conquest of Iran, which can be traced back all the way to the seventh century. The Muslim Arab conquest had a permanent impact where thousands of Arabic words have entered the Persian language, including the Arabic alphabet.

Over the years, the influence of the Arabic-Islamic culture grew and it could be apparent in the usage of names. There is an increased use of Arabic names, specifically those related to Arabic heroes, among the Persian community and it continues to this day (1). According to Iranian naming customs, it is uncommon for them to have middle names. Instead, they prefer using two first names, such as a first name followed by an optional first name and a surname (2).

Persian culture, which includes specific naming traditions, has changed with globalization. Persian names are distinctive because they can reflect the family’s background and distinguish between conservative and progressive households. Conservative families may opt for names that have strong religious connotations, while progressive families may choose classic Persian names (2). Some parents pick traditional names from books like Shahnameh; others prefer modern names inspired by Arabic Christians.
