Pouran is Persian in Origin.
Pouran is a Persian feminine given name (Persian: پوران) meaning “abundant, full,” from por (“full; much”) plus the adjectival suffix –ān. It has long-standing use in Iran and among the Persian diaspora, where it conveys ideas of plenty and generosity.
The name is closely associated with the late Sasanian era: the queen Bōrān - often rendered Puran or Purandokht (“daughter of Puran”) - ruled briefly in the early 7th century CE. Modern bearers include the popular Iranian singer Pooran (Farahdokht Abbasi, 1934–1990), which helped keep the name in circulation in the 20th century. Common variants and spellings are Pourān, Pooran, and Puran; related historical forms include Boran/Būrān and the compound Pourandokht. Note that South Asian Puran (male), from Sanskrit purāṇa “ancient; complete,” is etymologically distinct despite similar spelling. Pouran remains a familiar, gently classic choice in Persian naming, balancing succinct sound with a warm, auspicious meaning.
