Iranian Girl Names

Being of Iranian descent, I was disappointed (though not really surprised) that there were no Iranian names on this site. There are a lot of Arabic names on here, and all of them have Persian variations, which I'll share with you. I'll also throw in some other ones that I think are really nice and give the meanings as well! xx Vowels are tricky in Persian. If the written pronunciation says "ah", it's pronounced like in the word, "father". If it simply has an "a", it's pronounced like the "a" in "apple". There are also a lot of guttural sounds in Persian that don't exist in the English language. You can drop them if they are too difficult. (That's what my friends have done!) Boys List to come soon!
