Shahrzadeh as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Shahrzadeh

What is the meaning of the name Shahrzadeh ?

The baby name Shahrzadeh is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced shahr-ZAH-deh (Persian approx. /ʃæhrˈzɑːde/).

Shahrzadeh is Persian in Origin.

Persian in origin, Shahrzadeh combines šahr (“city, realm”) with the suffix -zādeh (“born of, descendant”), yielding the meaning “city-born” or, by poetic extension, “of noble lineage.” The name is feminine and closely related to the better-known Shahrzad/Shahrazad; the final -eh reflects Persian phonology and the productive -zadeh element found in many Iranian names and surnames.

Usage is anchored in the legendary storyteller of One Thousand and One Nights, known in Arabic as Shahrazad and in Europe as Scheherazade. The tale’s translation by Antoine Galland and later musical settings - Rimsky-Korsakov’s symphonic suite Scheherazade and Ravel’s Shéhérazade - spread the name across languages. Contemporary forms include Shahrzadeh, Shahrzad, Shahrazad, Scheherazade, Sheherazade, Sherazade, and Schéhérazade; shortened spellings like Sharzad also occur. In Iran and the Persian diaspora, Shahrzad remains the standard form, with Shahrzadeh a refined, literary variant.
