My mother actually works for a lot of Persian families (she's a housekeeper) so I've fortunately gotten to know a bit about their culture and I've been to a lot of their parties growing up. My favorite Persian & Arabic names would have to be:

---

Girls
Afsoon
Feride (this one is actually Turkish but it's a variant of an Arabic name)
Nour
Imani (Swahili name of Arabic origin)
Muna
Negeen
Soraya
Leila (SUPER popular among Persians but I still think it's pretty)
Farah
Rana (even though it means frog in Spanish haha)
Arezou
Elahe
Parisa (the name of one of my good childhood friends)
Jibril
Naima
Maryam
Sumayya

---

Boys
Nima (this one is so cute!)
Yunus/Younes
Roham
Cyrus
Ilyas
Zaki
Faizel
Iskander
