Parsi naming traditions
Parsi families traditionally name a baby after consulting the Zoroastrian calendar or a priest, and many names honour yazatas (divine beings) such as Meher and Behram, or Shahnameh heroes such as Rustom and Sohrab. The father's name is often used as the middle name, and a child is initiated into the faith at the navjote ceremony, usually between ages seven and eleven.
