HelpRe: Persian Gems
in reply to a message by -=A=-
Some of these surprise me. Gelsey, Kira, and Lilac are Persian? I didn't know. Can you cite any sources?
In any case, the men are handsome and the women are beautiful. :-) I like the sound (or what I believe is the sound) of all of these:
Amir
Bijan
Darius
Homayoun
Iskander
Kaved
Nadir
Tabor
Tallis
Xerxes
Aleah
Gelsey
Hestia
Kira
Kismet
Laleh
Lilac
Lilia
Marian
Marjan
Mehri
Mina
Mitra
Parisa
Parvaneh
Roshan
Roxana
Sadira
Shirin
Soraya
Yasmin
Zenda
Zenia
Zohreh
Zuleika

Gelsey I know is a type of flower in Farsi.
Kira is definitely the feminine form of Cyrus in Persian.
Lilac is definitely a favorite. I am fairly certain its origin is Persian, but like so many Persian inventions, its true derivation is seldom credited in the Western world.
