Iradj is Persian in Origin.

Iradj is the French-based transliteration of Persian Iraj (ایرج), a classic Iranian male name rooted in the epic Shahnameh. The figure Iraj, the youngest son of the king Fereydun and forebear of the Iranian people, embodies innocence and rightful kingship; his name is widely linked to the Indo-Iranian root arya, “noble, Aryan,” making common glosses such as “noble,” “of Iran,” or “free-born.”

In use for centuries across Persian-speaking lands and among the diaspora, the name gained literary prestige through Ferdowsi and later cultural prominence via poets and artists (e.g., Iraj Mirza). Variants and romanizations include Iraj (standard), Īraj/Irâj (academic), and Iradj (French); related Cyrillic-based forms sometimes appear as Iradzh. The Arabic-script spelling remains ایرج. While firmly traditional, the name feels dignified and accessible internationally thanks to its simple two-syllable shape and cross-lingual transliteration options.
