Persian Names for Girls

Persian names for girls are predominantly used in Iran, which was formerly known to the Western world as Persia. Several of these stunning Persian girl names are already familiar to English-speaking parents: think beautiful Biblical Esther, or enchanting, exotic Roxana. But there are many more gorgeous girl names of Persian origin which remain virtually unknown outside of their home country, and we think they deserve a closer look.
