Iran/Persia is in Asia, Croatia is in Europe. None of them invaded the other. How would the Croatians derive the name of their country from a Persian deity?
Btw, the name is Hrvatska.

Croatians came from the area around the Carpatian(sp?) Mountains in the seventh century.There were many tribes and one of them was callen Horovati/Hrvati and they gave their name to Hrvatska.No one knows where the name Croatia/Kroatia comes from.
