Peroz is Middle Persian, Persian in Origin.
Peroz is the English historical spelling of Middle Persian Pērōz, a masculine adjective and personal name written in Pahlavi as pylwc and continued in New Persian as Pīrūz or Fīrūz. Its root language is Middle Persian, and the earliest secure naming form belongs to Sasanian Iran. The literal sense is victorious, triumphant, with the final -ōz preserved in later Persian forms.
The name is best known from Peroz I, Sasanian shahanshah from 459 to 484, and from Peroz III, a Sasanian prince connected with Tang China after the Arab conquest. In Islamic-era Persian and Persianate naming, Firuz, Firoz, and Feroz became the more familiar forms, especially in Iran, Afghanistan, and South Asia. Peroz itself remains chiefly a historical or diaspora spelling.
