Dadbeh is an exceptionally rare Persian masculine name derived from Middle Persian (Pahlavi) elements, specifically 'Dād' (داد) meaning justice, law, or divine creation, and 'Bēh' (به) meaning good, best, or possessing. The name appears in historical Persian texts and genealogies of noble families from the Sassanian and early Islamic eras, representing the ideal of righteous sovereignty and divine order. While rooted in Zoroastrian cultural concepts of Asha (truth and righteousness), Dadbeh was adopted into Persian Muslim culture as a virtue name symbolizing Allah's attribute of Al-Adl (The Just). The name remains extremely rare in modern usage, preserved primarily in historical records and literary references. It shares thematic connections with other justice-related names such as [[Dadvar]] and [[Adl]].
