The name "Iran" has roots in the word "Aryan," reflecting the country's Indo-European heritage. The change from "Persia" to "Iran" was officially made in 1935 when Reza Shah Pahlavi requested that foreign nations use "Iran" as the country's name, emphasizing its historical and cultural identity. This shift aimed to signify a broader national identity beyond the Persian ethnic group.
