Meaning and origin of Sogol
Sogol is a modern Persian girl's name whose meaning is explained in more than one way. It is most often given as beloved or chosen, describing a girl who is cherished and dear. Many families also understand it as the name of a flower, partly because gol is the Persian word for flower, which is clearly heard in the second syllable. Since the name does not come from an Arabic root and published explanations differ, it is best described as a Persian name usually meaning beloved, with a flower association.
Sogol became fashionable in Iran from the 1980s onward, during a period when many parents favoured short names drawn from Persian rather than Arabic vocabulary. It is written سوگل in Persian script and pronounced soo-GOL, with the stress on the final syllable. English spellings include Sowgol and Sogool, though Sogol is by far the most common. The name is used mainly in Iran and among Iranian families abroad, and it is rarely found in other Muslim countries, which gives it a distinctly Iranian character.
