Dariush
Template:DMCA Template:Infobox given name
Dariush (Template:Langx), also spelled Darioush, Daryoush, or Daryoosh, is a Persian-language masculine given name. It is composed of Script error: No such module "lang". (lit.Template:Thinsp'to hold') and Script error: No such module "lang". (lit.Template:Thinsp'good'), meaning holding firm the good.[1]
Within the Achaemenid dynasty, three rulers of the Persian Empire held the name: Darius the Great (or Darius I), Darius II, and Darius III. It went on to enjoy considerable popularity as a given name among Persian noblemen in later periods. Historically, the name has been transliterated into Latin and later into English as "Darius" and is well known to the Western world in this form.
