Persepolis translated from Greek means Persian City. Reza Shah Pahlavi came to power in 1925 in Persia and by 1935 he changed the name of Persia to Iran. However Iran is not a new name, before Cyrus The Great the founder of human rights and his rule Persia was called Iran meaning "Land of Aryans". Persia meaning "Aryan Land". So historically the country Iran or Persia has been settled by Aryans for over 7,000 years.
Many know the language as Farsi which is incorrect. The language is "Persian" of said in English. And Farsi is really Parsi which means Persian in the Persian language. e.g. (Khalije Pars) meaning Persian Gulf.
The reason such word is misunderstood is because of the Arab invasion in early 7th century A.D. and their pronounciation of the letter "P".
The correct word for hello/goodbye in Persian is also Dorood (Greetings) and Beh Dorood (Until Another Greetings).
Apologies for the extended answer but as you can probably tell, I'm nation proud!
Free Iran! Bedorood x

What is the significance of persepolis?
Though evidence of prehistoric settlement at Persepolis has been discovered, inscriptions indicate that construction of the city began under Darius I the Great(reigned 522--486 BC). As a member of a new branch of the royal house, Darius made Persepolis the new capital of Persia (replacing Pasargadae, the burial place of Cyrus the Great).Built in a remote and mountainous region, Persepolis was an inconvenient royal residence, visited mainly in the spring. The effective administration of the Achaemenian Empire was carried on from Susa, Babylon, or Ecbatana. This accounts for the Greeks being unacquainted with Persepolis until Alexander the Great's invasion of Asia.In 330 BC, Alexander the Great plundered the city and burned the palace of Xerxes, probably to symbolize the end of his Panhellenic war of revenge. In 316 BC Persepolis was still the capital of Persis as a province of the Macedonian empire, but the city gradually declined in the Seleucid period and after. In the 3rd century AD the nearby city of Istakhr became the centre of the Sasanian empire. Today, relatively well-preserved ruins attest to Persepolis' ancient glory.
