Abstract
The emergence of Islam in Iran and its spread gradually transformed different cultural prototypes in this land. Meanwhile, Iranians gradually put away their Iranian names and adopted Arabic-Islamic nomination models due to various reasons including Arabization of the names, desire for gaining wealth and power, fear of the conquerors, fear for their lives, as well as faith and belief in the new religion. The present research was conducted through qualitative method and examples of frequency of Arabic and Islamic names, from the emergence of Islam in Iran up to the year 400 AH, were examined.
