What is the meaning of the name Tahmasebi ?

Tahmasebi is Persian in Origin.

Tahmasebi is a Persian surname–turned–given name meaning “of Tahmāsp,” built with the nisba suffix -i. It ultimately derives from the royal Persian name Tahmāsp (تهماسب), itself traced to Old Iranian elements taxma “strong, valiant” and aspa “horse,” yielding the sense “he of the strong horse” or “brave horseman.” As a personal name, Tahmasebi thus evokes lineage or association with Tahmāsp and, by extension, strength and nobility.

Usage clusters in Iran and Persianate regions, with historical resonance from Safavid ruler Shah Tahmāsp I (16th century), after whom adherents and households could be styled Tahmasebi. While chiefly a family name, it is occasionally adopted as a modern given name, generally masculine but potentially unisex in diaspora contexts. Variant transliterations include Tahmasbi, Tehmasebi, Tahmaseb, and Tahmasseb; related forms are Tahmāsp/Tahmasp and the Azerbaijani Tahmasib (Təhmasib).
