- lotux 11y ago"Persian" is a historical mistake started by Herodotus, Iran was Iran from the begining. start to learn the proper name after a long time 2500+ years is a long time.
- joe5150 11y agoAre you saying "Iranian" is the correct term for all the people living in past and present day Iran? Because that's...wrong.
- eternalban 11y agoYou are correct that Iran has always been called Iran (Eraan). Persians refer to the sub-set of Aryanman of Eran-Zameen ["Land of Arya"] that settled in the general area of the province of Fars (Perse) and after the overthrow of the Median Aryanman (likely forefathers of the Kurds) ascended the world stage [1]. -- [1]: http://www.iranchamber.com/history/darius/darius_inscription_biston.php http://www.iranchamber.com/history/darius/darius_inscription...
