- Maryam
Origin:
Hebrew, Arabic, IranianMeaning:
"drop of the sea, bitter, or beloved"Description:
As Mary falls further out of favor, her variations become more appealing, whether you're honoring an ancestral Mary or Marie or Miriam or simply love the tradition of the name.
- Azar
Origin:
IranianMeaning:
"fire"Description:
Simple yet unusual (to non-Iranians) is an excellent combination for a name, which the fiery Azar embodies perfectly.
- Parisa
Origin:
Iranian/PersianMeaning:
"like a fairy"Description:
Funny how one letter can turn a name from ordinary to special. Parisa is so much more distinctive than either Marisa or Paris.
- Pari
Origin:
Iranian/PersianMeaning:
"fairy"Description:
Simple yet meaningful Iranian name that would make an excellent import to the English-speaking world.
- Parastoo
Origin:
Iranian, PersianMeaning:
"swallow bird"Description:
The name Parastoo currently seems unusual to the Western ear, with that "too" ending rare in traditional English names. It is sometimes spelled Parastu. Pari or Parisa would make easier imports.
