Here's what I just got from Wikipedia...

Iran (Listeni /ɪˈrɑːn/ or /aɪˈræn/;[7] Persian: ایران; [ʔiˈɾɒn] ( listen)), officially the Islamic Republic of Iran, is a country in Central Eurasia and Western Asia.[8][9] The name "Iran" has been in use natively since the Sassanian era and came into use internationally in 1935, before which the country was known to the western world as Persia.[7][10] Both "Persia" and "Iran" are used interchangeably in cultural contexts; however, "Iran" is the name used officially in political contexts.[11][12] The name "Iran" is a cognate of "Aryan", and roughly means "land of the Aryans".[13]

Whoa!!! Aryans???
