Tahmoures is Persian in Origin.

Tahmoures is a Persian masculine name with deep mytho-historical roots. It descends from Avestan Taxma-Urupi (also rendered Takhma-Urupa), via Middle Persian Tahmuras, into New Persian forms such as Tahmoures/Tahmores. The first element taxma/tahm means “valiant, strong,” while -urupi is often interpreted as “of form/appearance,” yielding senses like “brave-bodied” or “strong in form”; some scholars simplify the meaning to “the valiant one.” Common variants include Tahmuras, Tahmures, Tahmores, Takhmuras, and the Arabicized/anglicized Tahmurath.

In Iranian epic tradition, Tahmoures (Divband, “binder of demons”) is a primordial Pishdadian king and father of Jamshid in Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh. He subdues the daevas and, in some tellings, compels them to teach humanity numerous scripts, linking the name with civilization and mastery. As a modern given name it is rare but recognizable across Persian-speaking communities and the diaspora, appealing for its regal antiquity and resolute meaning.
