I'm a belly dancer with persian/iranian roots and want a surname that reflects that, my father was from Iran (and afghanistan through origination), and had the most boring surname that means goat-herd - so i don't want to use that.

What are common Iranian Surnames? (not arabic)

---

What are some lyrical iranian surnames, i.e have a poetical/religious/ornamental meaning.

The only ones i could find were Roshanzadeh and Nourazar - which i presume mean 'bright person' and 'holy light - fire.'
