Nuşirevan name meaning
“of immortal soul; immortal-souled”
Nuşirevan means “of immortal soul” or “immortal-souled.” It comes from Persian Nūşīrevān, a shortened form of Enūşīrevān, ultimately based on the Middle Persian title anōşag-ruwān. Used as a boys’ name in Türkiye, it recalls the Sasanian ruler Khosrow, who was known by this title.
What does Nuşirevan mean?
Of immortal soul; immortal-souled
In Turkish: ölümsüz ruhlu; ruhu ölümsüz
Nuşirevan is known historically as an epithet of the Sasanian ruler Khosrow I. Persian and Ottoman literature often associated that ruler with exemplary justice, shaping the name's literary resonance. Its literal meaning, however, concerns the soul's immortality rather than justice; Enuşirevan belongs to the same etymological tradition.
The ending “-an” is a common final sound rather than a suffix with one shared meaning here. Aslan, Hasan and Yaman have different origins and structures despite their matching endings. More boy names ending in -an →
