Meaning and origin of Forouzan
Forouzan is the Persian adjective forūzān, 'blazing', 'shining' or 'glowing', from the verb forūkhtan, 'to kindle' or 'to set alight'. It describes something lit up and bright, like a flame or a lamp, and it is used in poetry for anything radiant, from fire to a beautiful face. As a name it is translated 'radiant', 'shining' or 'glowing'; the nuance is warmth as well as brightness, since the image is of fire rather than cold light.
