Firoozeh

Firoozeh (فیروزه) is a Persian female name literally meaning 'turquoise', the blue-green semi-precious stone long prized in Iranian material culture. The word derives from Persian and the mineral term appears across Persian texts and artisan vocabulary; as a given name it conveys color, beauty, and the protective associations traditionally linked to turquoise jewelry. The name is classical rather than contemporary-popular, often encountered in Persian poetry, craft histories, and among families preserving older naming customs. Related names and variants include [[Firoza]] and [[Fereshteh]] as culturally adjacent Persian feminine names. Firoozeh is not directly attested in the Quran but is verifiable through Persian lexica and onomastic records from Iran and neighbouring regions. Use is especially recorded among Persian-speaking communities and diaspora populations where traditional gemstone-based names remain in use.
