Persian Girl's Names
Ibrahim Adali
I am soon to have a baby daughter and I am considering the
possibility of giving her a Persian name.
Unfortunately I do not know of very many Persian girl's names.
I would very much like to acquire a list of such names with the
English translations for the names.
Is there anyone who may be able to help me in this matter ?
Thanks,
Ibrahim Adali.

fath-ali shAh jAn...I mean kAmbiz jAn! Just curious...Why did you
translate Azar from fArsi to fArsi?!! I can see this poor guy going
crazy looking for the meaning of "Atash" in his English dictionary!!!
My own favorite, Sarah, which is what I also named my daughter. In
fArsi: sArA.
My other favorites: Roya, Shiva, Sheida, Haleh. (I do half, you do
half...You go and find out the meaning of these names!!!)
Good luck with the baby!

I think you're right.
And here're some other suggested names
which are not Persian, or of Persian
origin (for anyone who cares):
Tahereh (Arabic)
Leila (Arabic)
Sho'leh (Arabic origin)
Shohreh (Arabic origin)
Sara (Hebrew)
Hana (Hebrew)
Aida (ummm, well I've heard of the Egyptian Princess Aida,
but it's not Persian anyway)
Shiva (Indian)
Rosa/Rosetta (Latin)
Bita, Ermina and Elmira Persian? Well, that would be news to me!

Somebody suggested Bahareh but (sorry Bahareh) :
Bahareh is an eclectic name :) (also Kambiz, the Greek of Kambojieh)
Why Bahareh is eclectic ? It is because though Bahar is persian
(as long as I know) the suffix -eh is not a natural extension
of the name but a suffix that is used by Arabs to change
the gender of the name to female (mo-anas,) like Hamideh or
Saideh. But then Hamid and Said are arabic names while Bahar
is a persian name. People make this combinations making
names like Paymaneh which is also eclectic because Payman
is a persian name and the suffix should only be added to
the arabic ones not the persian names.

You are right. There is an Indian word "Shiva" which means "the
Destroyer". BUT the Persian name Shiva *IS* Persian originated and
means "ravAn" (charming?). The Indian one is originated from Sanskrit.
There has been suggested that both Iranian and Indian culture have a
common same offspring. If the Persian "Shiva" is originated from the
Sanskrit one is of course an open question BUT there is no evidence
suggesting that.

It's all right!

Yes, Shiva *is* a Persian word, but I think the name actually refers
to the Hendu goddess Shiva. Of course, you can equally argue the Persian
case, although I can't see anything feminine in "ravAn" (fluent), and it
doesn't seem to be used much in Iran anyway.

Aida is Turkish.

Wait a second here! Shiva in India is the name of a Godess, but in
Persian, it is a word and it has a meaning. I don't think it's Indian.

Mahyar is not a Persian girl name, the few Mahyars I have seen are all guys.
it simply means yar-e-moon!! A close Persian Girl name (to Mahyar)
is Mehyar meaning yar-e-mehrabon!
Another good Persian girl name is Anahita, Persian God(dess) of water.

So what? Persian as a whole is eclectic, that's what makes
it great.
BTW, the -eh suffix can also be a derivation from middle
persian -ag as in banafsheh.

So what ? Nothing particular, just semantical pedantry :) I just
repeated what our farsi teacher
told us 20 years ago :-) He said gramatically the combination
isn't correct. I just brought the case to the attention from a
gramatical point of view. The syntax, the philosophical and cultural
inferences and repercussions, I leave to you guys to decide
upon ;-)

Soraya means the star Sirius.

Then I have to expand the dictionary :)
According to the farhang fArsi amid Sorya means :

My young daughter's name is Ravan ("ravAn") which, by my understanding, though
it means "flowing" or "fluent", in old Persian it also meant "spirit".

Dear O' dear, I've done it again!
Yes, RavAn has two distinctive meanings: "flowing/fluent" and "spirit"
(even in modern Persian), of which it shares the first meaning with
"Shiva". How feminine "Ravan" is, I suppose, depends very much on
individual perception. It's certainly not masculine, and it's a pretty,
though not very common, name. And that's what a lot of people want!

Reza.
