[Facts] In the arabic dictionary
Important to know to divide between arabic and persian, which are two different languages. the one is semitic, the other is Euroasian.
in the list of arabic names, you posted in also persian names.
I suppose the source for the confusion is that words from arabic entered the Persian language because of their close geographical borders, but it doesn't mean Persian name should be included in the arabic section.

Did you read the explanations at the top of the sections of Arabic and Iranian names? "The names listed here are used in the Arab world, as well as some other Muslim regions. They are not necessarily of Arabic origin, though most in fact are. For more information see about Arabic names." "The names listed here are used in Iran."The important word here is "use": These names are put into their categories according to *use*, and *not* according to origin.I for my part do not see any confusion here.
