The southern country formerly known as Persia is Iran. The name "Persia" was used in the Western world until 1935, when the Iranian government requested that the international community use the name "Iran" to reflect the country's native language and identity. The name "Iran" means "Land of the Aryans" and has been used historically to refer to the region.
