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!

            • Farideh

              • Description:

                Farideh is a feminine Persian name that carries the beautiful meaning 'unique' or 'exceptional.' Derived from the Persian word 'farid' meaning 'unique, matchless, or rare,' the name embodies distinctiveness and individuality. Popular in Iran and among Persian-speaking communities worldwide, Farideh has a musical quality with its flowing syllables. The name reflects Persian naming traditions that often emphasize poetic qualities and positive attributes. In Western countries, Farideh remains relatively uncommon, giving it an exotic appeal while being reasonably pronounceable for English speakers. The name carries cultural richness and a meaningful message for a child, suggesting someone who stands out in a positive way and follows their own path.
