Piroz is an uncommon Kurdish–Persian male name rooted in Middle Persian pērōz / pēruz, attested historically (see Sasanian-era names such as Peroz). The lexical sense is 'victorious' or 'triumphant,' and the name appears in regional onomastic records and oral tradition among Kurdish and broader Iranian communities. As a Muslim-used name it functions as a laudatory attribute rather than a prophetic title. Linguistically the meaning correlates with Arabic منتصر or مظفّر. Related names and variants often encountered in the region include [[Viyan]] and [[Vejin]], which share regional Kurdish usage and show how Persian-origin names integrate in Kurdish naming practice.
