I think Surena is a great name, but most people think it's a girls' name. As for actual girls' names, Atosa and Amytis are my favourites.
EDIT: and I have to give honourable mention to Purandokht and Azarmidokht, since they are my aunts' (and also a very important pair of historical figures') names  Edited by Xshayathiya - 13-Nov-2006 at 08:29 |

I was told once that Artaxerxes in Persian is Ardeshir. Can anyone confirm/deny this?

Is Nima ( I do not know how to write it in English) an old Persian name? If so that is my favourite name. It was my beloved brother s name.

I like the Persian name for Zoroaster, Zarathustra. I also like Shahansha ("King of Kings"), and the name Isfahani.

Rostam --Conjures images of bodily might and strength.
Hormoz --Conjures images of a giant straddling the straits of hormuz.
Esfandiar-- like the resonance + is similar to Asfandyar which probably comes from it..

I like the name Xerxes for some reason, but I think the name Cyrus has a really powerful sound to it.

It is not the challenges a people face which define who they are, but rather the way in which they respond to those challenges.

Ardashir is Artsakhshir (Sassanid form) probably ArtaKhashayarshah (ArtaXerxes). Arda means Earth. So you are right in a sense. |
