Persian Names for Girls

Likely an alternative transliteration of the Turkish and Persian name Sanaz, Sonnaz is notably borne by Sonnaz Nooranvary, an upholsterer who stars on the TV show, The Repair Shop.
 
The name could derive from the Persian elements sa and naz, which together could mean "like sweetness" or "resembling delicateness". Alternatively, it could be a blend of the Turkish san and az meaning "likeness" and "few", which might then be interpreted as "unique, rare, individual".
 
Used occasionally in Turkey and Iran, Sonnaz is also the name of place in France.
