Persian names abroad

Many families in the diaspora look for a name that sounds Persian and is also easy to pronounce in English, German or French, such as Darya, Sara, Kian or Arman. Registry offices use the Latin spelling; there is no single correct transliteration, so we show common variants. Names marked ⚥ are used for girls and boys.
