Persian · Persian

The roots of Setayesh lie in Persian, carrying the sense 'praise, worship, adoration'. When families carried the Persian tradition abroad, Setayesh went too, picking up minor spelling shifts without losing 'praise, worship, adoration'.

How Persian names are chosen

Iranian naming draws on three separate wells: pre-Islamic Persian and Zoroastrian names such as Kourosh and Anahita; Arabic and Islamic names arriving with the conquest; and a modern Persian layer of plain nouns — Setareh, 'star', Laleh, 'tulip', Omid, 'hope'. A striking share, put at ten to fifteen per cent of all Persian names, comes from a single book: Ferdowsi's tenth-century Shahnameh, the source of Dariush, Bijan, Faramarz, Esfandiar and many more. Which well a family draws from has not always been a neutral choice. Shahnameh names rose sharply after the 1979 revolution, chosen over Arabic alternatives as a deliberate assertion of Persian identity.
