Minoochehr is Persian in Origin.
Minoochehr is a Persian masculine name; this spelling reflects a modern diaspora romanization of Manuchehr/Manouchehr (Persian منوچهر). In Iranian epic tradition it names a Pishdadian king in Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh, and it has remained in steady use across the Persianate world from the pre‑Islamic period to today. The name also spread into the Caucasus, yielding Georgian Manuchar. 20th‑century bearers include poet Manouchehr Atashi and statesman Manouchehr Eghbal.
Etymology points to Avestan Manuščiθra, “of human lineage/seed,” via Middle Persian Manōčihr, where čihr meant “seed, lineage.” In New Persian folk reanalysis, čehr came to mean “face,” and with minū “paradise, heaven” the name is popularly glossed as “heaven‑faced.” Common variants: Manuchehr, Manouchehr, Manoochehr, Manucher; regional Manuchar. Informal short forms include Mani and Manu.
