Yes. Persia was founded many centuries B.C. It was known as Persia until 1935, when Reza Shah (the King) declared a new name (Iran) to symbolize the newly industrialized nation. Iran means land of the Aryans. However, due to the thousands of years of history behind the name Persia, the two names are interchangeable.
