It means "Aryan" and is derived from this word. Iran used to be called "Persia" - Land of the Aryans - before 1935 and the Shah changed it to Iran.Aryan.
Reza Shah Pahlavi overthrew the Qajjar Kingdom of Persia and created the Empire of Iran in 1935. He asked international community to only call the country by the name Iran in the same year. Iran is an ancient world means The Land of Aryans, which was a frequently used-term within the country to refer to themselves throughout history. However for a long time, Iran was referred to as Persia in the Western world, mainly thanks to the influence of the Greek literature. Later, Ayatollah KHOMEINI also overthrew the Shah (this time the Shah happened to be Mohammed Reza Shah Pahlavi, the son of Reza Shah Pahlavi). But he did not change the name. The official name of the country was Iran since the above events.
In 1935 Reza Shah (king of Persia) declared that Persia will now be called Iran meaning land of nobles or land of aryans.
Persia was the name that the western world had given Iran. Inside Iran, the country was referred to as Aryanam, or "Land of the Aryans." So when in 1935 Reza Shah asked that the country be called "Iran" (derived from Aryanam), it was not a change of name, but being asked to be called by that which they'd always called themselves.
The motto of Sibghatullah Shah Rashidi is '"home land or death"'.
