Sepehr is a Persian male given name of Iranian origin. It is derived from the Middle Persian word "spwhl" which means "eternal" or "everlasting". The name has been popular among Iranians for centuries and continues to be widely used today.
The history of the name Sepehr dates back to ancient Persia, where it was often given to boys in hope that they would live up to its meaning. In fact, the name was particularly favored by members of the Zoroastrian religion, who believed in the concept of eternal life and immortality.
Over time, Sepehr has become one of the most popular names in Iran. It is also used by Iranian communities around the world, particularly in countries with significant Iranian immigrant populations such as the United States, Canada, and Australia.
While Sepehr is a traditional name with deep historical roots, it remains relevant today due to its powerful meaning and timeless appeal. Whether used as a given name or a middle name, Sepehr carries with it a sense of strength, endurance, and eternal beauty that continues to resonate with parents seeking meaningful names for their children.
