Re: Baby name that works in Farsi and Portuguese
By doing a quick search, here are names that exist in both languages:Ava
Darya / Dária
Fatimeh / Fátima
Haideh / Haidé
Jamileh / Jamila
Leila
Roxana
Salomeh/Salomé
Sara
Soraya / Soraia
Tina
Vanda
Vida
Zahra / ZaraArabic / Portuguese
Aida
Lina
Nadiyya / Nádia
Raisa / RaíssaI would only avoid Azar (means "bad luck" in PT) and anything starting with "parva" (means "stupid" in PT). I'm not familiar with the farsi language, but you can't go wrong by picking something simple and straightforward like Ema, Eva, Maria, Ana, Rita, or Sofia.
