Mihrdad is Persian in Origin.
Mihrdad is a Persian male name from Old Iranian Miθra + dāta, meaning “given by Mithra,” the Indo-Iranian deity of covenant, light, and the sun. In New Persian, Mihr/Mehr also evokes “sun” and “affection,” so the name is felt as “gift of the sun” or “gift of love.” The spelling Mihr- reflects the older form, while Mehrdad is today’s most common Persian rendering.
Attested since antiquity, the name appears in Greek and Latin as Mithradates/Mithridates, borne by rulers of Pontus, Parthia, and Commagene; in the Caucasus it survives as Mihrdat/Mirdat among early Georgian kings. Modern usage centers in Iran and the Persian-speaking diaspora, with occasional use in neighboring cultures. Variants and transliterations include Mehrdad, Mihrdad, Meherdad, Mithradates, Mithridates, and Mihrdat. Related forms: Mehrzad, Mehran. The name carries a classical, luminous aura linking contemporary Persian identity to pre-Islamic heritage.
