Behraz as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Behraz

What is the meaning of the name Behraz ?

The baby name Behraz is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced beh-RAHZ (IPA: /beˈrɑːz/).

Behraz is Persian in Origin.

Behraz is a modern Persian (Farsi) given name. In Iranian onomastics it is often read in two ways: as a streamlined or regional spelling of Behrouz/Behruz (beh “good, best” + rūz “day”), yielding the auspicious meaning “fortunate; prosperous,” or as a neo-Persian compound of beh “good” + rāz “secret, mystery,” interpreted as “good secret” or “keeper of true confidences.” Pronunciations vary accordingly: beh-RAHZ for the rāz parsing, or aligning with Behrooz when treated as a variant.

While the Behrouz form is widely attested from medieval to modern Persian usage across Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan, Behraz itself is rare and contemporary, appearing in Iran (including Azerbaijani-speaking regions) and within the diaspora since the late 20th century. Spelling variants and related forms include Behraz/Behrāz; Behrouz/Behrooz/Behruz; and semantically linked Persian names such as Behzad (“well-born”) and Behnaz (“best grace”). The name carries an auspicious, positive tone.
