I'm pregnant since 5 months and it's a girl.

Her father is persian, and we'd like our daughter has a persian firstname.

Can we help us ? A short firstname (her last name is long).

Thank you very much.

I don't think it matters if it's Persian or not. It's Iranian for
sure though. I mean, many Iranians have those names.

Corine;

Iran is a country of many ethnic groups and I am sure you are aware of that.
If you are refering to Persian names only and not Iranian ones , check the
boys and girls section of this URL ..

For a short list of Iranian names with their meanings, visit this site:

I suggest Maryam (Miriam) or Sara (Sarah), because of their multicultural
popularity and significance.

None of those names sound Iranian, certainly not Sheila, which is a Jewsih

I think you should push aside your racist viewpoints. Heck, even Ali,
Ahmad, Mohammad, and Amir are Iranian names, but not Persian names.
Don't let your anti-Arab sentiments get hold of you.

Maryam is definetly Iranian, but not Persian. We are confusing the
words Iranian with Persian. When I say Maryam is an Iranian name, I
mean that so many Iranian women have that name that it has become
Iranian. Just like the name Ali. Today, if someone has the name
Ali, there is a damn good chance that that person is Iranian.

Maryam may not be a Persian name, but it sure is an Iranian name.

Ya, I think Roxanna is a beautiful name. And the good thing is that
it's an American name too. So basically it's very compatible.

No Sir. Your kind are the most racist of all. Your kind consider anything
related to arabs holy and anything IrAnian worthless. You kind are the ones
that gladly accepted arabs as "molA" and turned IrAnians into "mavAli".

Throughout history, Persia has been used to refer to the country of IrAn.
There are numerous sources that proves this. An obvious source is the Bible.
Such references are not to the Fars province only. Such references are to
the country of IrAn in its entirety. This is not to say that today IrAn
should be referred to as Persia or not. It is to clear a point.
The issue here is not ethnicity. Rather it is IrAnian verses arab and
IrAnianized arab names.

So is Rogheeye and Sekeeneh. How very Tokhme Arab of you to sugest Maryam is
Iranian. Let's get one thing straight. Go back and read her post again. She
did NOT say her husband was and Iranian national from Lashgar AbAd in Ahwaz.
She said it clearly that her husbad was a PERSIAN. She also stated clearly
that she wanted a PERSIAN name for her doughter. So with that in mind, I
sugest you take all the so called Eyerainian names that have Arabic origin
and write them on a harsh piece of paper and shove them where the sun don't
shine.

How very proving of that point when a person calling himself Rostam calls
racist, an Iranian who is reminding readers that "halime" is not a PERSIAN
(Read the title AGAIN) name. AghAye Rostam there is NOTHING wrong or
disgracefull about appreciating one's own heritage. The disgrace comes when
one puts respect of the enemy's culture above that of his or her own.

At that age I don't think the other kids will really know about the country Iran, maybe by then Iran will not have such bad
reputation to the U.S. as when I was growing up over here.

I should add, not to mention those who do NOT side with a regime which has
spent more than 20 years trying to kill Norouz and chArshanbe souri. A
regime who has legalized every Arabic name while making it illegal for
Iranians to name their children Persian names.

Why would they say Farce? Why wouldn't they say "Man turk nistam, man
Irani hastam" ? What does Farce mean?

Like many nations all names are not THE nation's ethnic names. Names
like Hassan, Ali, or Mohammad are Arabic/Islamic names(lite Biblical
names Pual and John and Peter used in all the Western world)used in all
Muslim nations. No one particular culture can say Hassan is an Irani
name or Pakistani or Hindi or Turkic, although the name is wide spread
every where. That's just a fact. Now why is not Sheela Persian, if not
Persian can some one shed some light on that? Thanks.

Sir,
Since you can not get to it, here is the contents of the webpage:

***Azarbaijan - Azerbaijan
Introduction
In the recent years since the independence of the state of "Azerbaijan"
(Correctly "Azarbaijan"), major political powers and their allies have bee
trying hard to establish an Identity for this great land and its people in
order to control its rich oil resources. As if it did not have any identity
before.
As a result of such activities there are few web pages in the net reporting
false claims on the identity of this great land and its people.

As an Iranian borne Azaris we have much love for the Azarbaijan of Iran,
i.e. where we come from, as we have for the Northern one, i.e. the so called
independent sate of Azarbaijan. Thus doing our best to show the truth about
our people regardless of the political agendas of the major powers. How can
we close our eyes about what they are doing to our history?

Here we declare that we are not sponsored by OR tied to any political entity
or government and we intend to remain as such. Our purpose is to put an end
to the false claims being made on behalf of Azarbaijan and its Identity. To
be honest some of the claims are so ridiculous and so far from reality that
I must mention them here. Have a look at "www.azerbaijan.com" and click
on the "Historical Notes" I am not sure who these people are? One thing they
reflect in their web page is lack of knowledge. Or may be their intention is
to mislead the public on this issue purposefully. They claimed:

They claim:
"Ethnically and linguistically, the Azerbaijani people are descended from
the nomadic Turkish tribes that migrated west across Transcaucasia into
present day Turkey more than one thousand years ago."
Where as it is a very well known fact to all historians that the region has
been occupied by Azaris, Armenians and Kurds (collectively refereed to as
Medes) for more than 4000 years.

They claim:
"The roots of present day Azerbaijan can be traced back to the 400 B.C.,
with the emergence of the two kingdoms of Caucasian Albania in the north,
and the Atropatan in the south. The latter takes its name from its founder,
Atropat, a satrap of Alexander of Macedonian".
Then again there are so many problems with this claim. The fact is that the
Azarbaijan of 400 BC was part of the Persian-Medes Empire. And Atropat was a
satrap of Darius the Persian king and not the Alexander's. And what is more,
he was named after the place and not visa versa. The meaning of Atropat in
old Persian is "the keeper of fire" and is refered to the person in charge
of the Zoroastrian fire temples in Azarbaijan.

They claim:
"Ancient literature describes Caucasian Albania as a separate state with a
diverse economic base."
I don't know what ancient literature they are referring to but as far as my
lifetime of historical studies reveals, there was no Albanian Kingdom in
Azarbaijan. The region was and is the place for Medes since the dawn of
history. And as far as my linguistic knowledge concerns, Albanian language,
belonging to the "Sadum" group of the Indo-European languages, and is the
closest language to the Armenian, Kurdish and Persian. Read
http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~olmsted/kcole/albanian.htm . You may ask what is
wrong with this picture? How can you be traced back to Albanians in 400 BC,
(i.e. some Indo-European people), and yet be Turkic (i.e. belonging to
Altaic family of races such as Turks, Mongolians, Japanese and Korean)????

We Azaris don't even look like any of the Altaic races!!! How can we
possibly be Turkish???


What are they trying to do? Are they trying to deny the fact that we,
Azaris, are in fact Indo-European people like Armenians, Albanians,
Persians, Kurds ... and yet was forced to speak Altaic Turkish language by
the Mongol invaders? It is a historical fact that Ghazan Khan, (i.e. the
savage Mongol ruler in 10th century), made his capital at Tabriz, i.e. the
city in the Iranian Azarbaijan, and forced the official language of the
government to be Turkic. I can only imagine the suffering that my
forefathers faced under Ghazan's rule.

This may sound strange to many uneducated ears, but before that, and even
long after that, our ancestors were all speaking Persian. In fact our people
are the closest relatives to the Persians. Only the reason that we can speak
some Turkish dialect is the fact that our people were invaded by the
Turko-Moghuls and forced into speaking Turkish.

I have always said, genes don't lie. Human genetic maintain information for
millions of years and are the best document that one can use to determine
ones ethnicity. Our facial features, hair color, eye color, bone structure
... are all the result of our genetic information. Now, let me ask you one
very simple yet fundamental question:

Who do we look like? Certainly, we look like just any Persian, Armenian,
Kurd or any other Indo-European for that matter (i.e. collectively called
the "Caucasians"). One thing we don't look like is Altaic (i.e. Turkic).
Although I respect all humans regardless of their race, we don't look like
any Turkics, Moguls, Japanese, Korean or any other Altaic race.

Now, which one is more important in determining ones origin, language or
human genetic? Most Indians speak English fluently, does it mean that they
are Anglo-Saxon? We should respect their origin. In the same way, we must
respect ours.

I urge all Azaris not to give in to such betrayal and defend our identity.
After all, if you don't look like a Turk you are not one.


Now, Some truth about Azarbaijan
Before anything else, I must spend sometimes on clarifying the meaning of
two very important Indo-European terms.
mAd
"mAd", pronounced like "God", is an old Persian, (i.e. an Indo-European
language itself), term that has become the root to many Indo-European words
used today. The meaning of "mAd" is "the origin".
The Persian word "mAdar" is the combination of the words "mAd" + suffix
"ar". the suffix is used to indicate the actor. In english the "ar" has
evolved into "er" or sometime "or" but the effect is the same. An example of
such usage in english would be diffuse -> diffuser OR diffusor.

Thus persian "mAdar", which means "Mother" in english, has a literal meaning
of "The originator" signifying the role of women in our society, for obvious
reasons.

Other example:
Persian "mAdiAn" or "mAde asp"= mare ( female horse)

pAd
This is another very important Indo-European word. Old Persian "pAd" has the
same meaning than "pod" in latin, "foot" in english and "pA" in new Persian.
One of the derivatives of this word is "pAyeh" meaning "foundation" for
obvious reasons. Another derivative is "ApAd", (new Persian "AbAd" or "bar
pA") meaning "on its feet" = "Founded", "Established" and "Kept"
Thus, old Persian "pAdar" (new Persian "pedar"), which means "Father" in
english, has a literal meaning of "The Founder" and "The Keeper" referring
to the role of men in the Indo-European society.

Other examples:
Persian "se pA" or "se pAyeh" = latin "tripod"
Persian "PaydAr". Literal Meaning: "The one that has Feet". Meaning
"Eternal"


Azarbaijan - The name
To be completed soon
Azarbaijan - The people
Who are we?
Bravery is our pride and the soil of our land Arran (i.e the term used by
Azaris to refer to Azarbaijan. it means Iran) is more valuable than the
whole Universe. We have fought for and defended IrAn since the dawn of the
history longer than anyone can remember. We have given birth to so many
distinguished Historical figures. Every Indo-Iranian (i.e. Aryan), have
their roots of their ancestors traced back to us. Greeks called us the
Medes, Bible refers to us as Medians.

We are the "mAd", the origin of all Indo-Iranians, (A subgroup of a lager
people known as Indo-Europeans or Caucasians). "mAdhA", being the plural
form of "mAd" which is known as Medes to the Greeks, does not refer to a
place nor a country. It is the name of the group of people who settled in
the region known today as Azarbaijan, Armanistan, Kurdistan, part of Syria
and Turkey more than 3000 BC, exact date is not known.

Note that Zaratushtra (i.e. Zartusht or Zoroaster), himself being a "mAd"
from the region known as Azarbaijan today, dates back to 1700 BC. Although
"Mary Boyce", Iranist and the leading authority among the western scholars,
sets the date for Zartusht to 1400 BC, there are more evidences suggesting
that even 1700 BC is too early. For example the language of Gatha which is
the key to the Old Persian language, is closely related to the Sanskrit of
"Rig Vedas", the holy book of hindus, i.e. another Indo-Iranian group of
people. Now, "Rig Vedas" is much older than 1700 BC. The point that I am
trying to make is that The first wave of the Aryan migration is much older
than historical recordings found on this topic.

This group of people migrated from their original land which was no longer
habitable due to rapid climatical changes which caused a mini Ice age in
that region. It is believed to be located somewhere between Russia and
Caucus mountains.

After migration, Perhaps, Turkey, Kurdistan, Azarbaijan and Armanestan were
among the first places that the Aryans occupied due to the vicinity to their
original land. Places such as Central IrAn, Afganestan, Tajikestan and North
India was occupied at much later stage by the same people. So, you know why
they called us mAd. Most likely this is the term used by most Aryan clans,
where ever they were, to identify us as the origin of their people.

Example of the similar pattern for today is that there are more than 100,000
(not sure about the figure) Parsi all around the world. They left Iran some
1400 years ago as the result of Arab invasion yet still they refer to
themselves as Parsi (i.e. the Persian), signifying the origin of their
people.

Anyway,

There is poem from "Parvin Etemasi", an Azari herself, that I like to
include it here. It is about weman, however, she has given plenty of clue to
her ethnic origin.

Mr Rostam;
Thanks for informative content posted.

However I am not sure in relation to what you have posted that.
Was it because I said to Ali

"In Iran Turks refer to non-turks usually ,persians as Farce
When I was refering to Turki I was refering to the language of Turks of Iran
not Turkey"

If you have taken that as an offensive statement my apologies.

That reflects a feeling among even modern generations to feel a greater connection
with the ancient name of "Persia". After all, Iran has only been in use since 1925
and Persia is much older and was in use through a greater period of time than Iran.
Therefore, an inhabitant of the land of Persia in anceint times, irrespective of
ethnicity could then be properly termed as a "Persian", just as a "Roman" could be a
Celt, Greek or wahtever nationality that came to be incorporated within the Roman
Empire.

Well, in response to that, I would draw a parralel with the term "merci" used to say thank you,
which is really a French loan word. Just as "Salam" is an Arabic loan word but still, we
understand them as such and designate them as foreign loan words, aware that the Persian
terminology for the respective expressions are "Sepas" and "doorood".

Dear Rostam,
I admire your post on the Azaris and your efforts to show them as they truly
are, an Iranian people who have been, through the course of political influence
and force, turkicized.
I have to corect you on several things however.
First, the dates you have given regarding the dates of Asho Zarathushtra are
very correct and I'm glad that someone other than myself in this newsgroup is
aware that he wasn't born in 500 BC or something like that. Still, I have to
tkae you away from the misconception that he was a Mde. The old Avesta speaks of
the Iranian lands, which are teh lands to the East but never once speaks of
Medes and Persians.
Also the dialect of the Gathas has been identified by respected linguists, as a
north east Iranian dialect and therefore very different from Mede.

Second point, I would like to underline the fact that neither the Kurds, the
Medes or other Iranian people are in the same group as the Indo-European
Armenians. The latter, although still IE, are more closely related to the
Thrakian subfamilly of Indo-European languages and that at not time did the
Armenians constitute a federation of Mede tribes. In fact, the Mede federation
of tribes, made of at least five tribes probalby contained at the msot one truly
Aryan tribe, the rest being mostly Caucasic speaking natives.
None of teh Aryans, wtihthe exception of the Mittani (who are really Indo-Aryans
and not Iranians) migrated by way of the Caucasus. One exception is the tribe of
the Cimmerians that migrated in early Mede times through the Caucasian passes
into Anatolia.
All other tribes, including the Parsa, Madai, Saggartians, Drangianians,
Bactrians etc...all came fmo Central Asia, from lands east of the Caspian Sea.

No, I still wouldn't accept it. It's nothing personal or prejudiced, it's just a
fact. No matter how much time went by, Roxanne in the US would still be a Persian
name and in a thousand years, Ali would still be an Arabic name. It is in the root
of the language, you can't just change languages over night.

I agree, but I look at it this way: Today, the average person would
consider the names Joe or Michael as American names, but in reality,
they come from somewhere else (probably Europe), yet people still
consider those names American. I share similar views with Iranian
names.

This is so sad to see that all of you assholes, sitting here in the warm

arabic names. Like we've already solved all our fucking problems here or
back home and the only thing left is changing our name, so what if your
name is not fucking Rostam and instead is Ali or better is Alireza.
As far as I concern all of u people can kiss my bald head and lick my

Ok, what about Mexico? I think a better example would be that people
here in southern California consider names like Jose and Juan as
Mexican, when in reality they originated from Spain. Should we stop
referring to Jose and Juan as Mexican names just because of that? Of
course not. That is why I think we should continue to refer names
like Ali, Amir, and Reza as Iranian. Simply because it has been used
so long and so often by Iranians.

You could be right aziz but I think people should choose a name

Parvaneh is a nice also. I was in love with a girl back home by
that name :) Shadi and Shirin sound nice but Shahrzad tops them all :)
