parsiani 

The definition of all that makes Persians great. Loyal to the core, philosopher and poet at heart, intellectual beyond just book or street smarts, kind to all but fierce and absolutely unrelenting when needed. An unstoppable force of nature. The best friend and ally in your corner but you don’t want to get on their bad side. Good thoughts, Good words, Good deeds!
Tell me you’re Persian without telling me you’re Persian

What a class act, so elegant, intelligent and well spoken, he is totally a Parsiani!

Persianian

(pronounced PERJZH - AYN - EE - EN)

A compromise between the words "Persian" and "Iraynian."

Adjective used to describe people living in the US or Europe whose parents or ancestors hail from Iran and who speak Farsi (the Persianian language).

The term was coined in order to bring unity between different schools of thought in the Persianian community on how to identify themselves.

White co-worker/classmate John: "Dude Mehrdad where are you from?"

Mehrdad: "I was born in Laguna Niguel, California but I am Persian."

John: "Like in the movie 300? But Persia doesn't exist anymore!"

Mehrdad: "My parents are from Iran. People from Iran are Persian."

John: "If you're from Iran wouldn't that make you Iranian?"

Mehrdad: "No I am Persian."

Sohrab: "You are both wrong. Mehrdad is Persianian."

John: "Ohhh. Now it all makes sense."

Mehrdad: "Okay if you guys don't mind I have to go study for my Loyola Law School finals now."

Persianism

A cultural and civilizational identity centered on Iran’s pre-Islamic Persian heritage, advocating for a return to indigenous Persian values, language, symbols, and secular self-rule. Persianism emphasizes cultural continuity, national sovereignty, and freedom from religious governance imposed after the 7th century. It rejects being forced into modern geopolitical labels and asserts the right of Iranians to define themselves on their own historical and cultural terms.

“Calling Iranian secularists ‘Zionist’ makes no sense—what they stand for is Persianism.”
"She’s not aligned with any religious ideology—she’s a Persianist who wants a secular Iran rooted in its own history and values."
