Pedram is a Persian name derived from "patag", meaning 'gift', and was popular among Zoroastrians who saw it as a divine gift. It has been used for centuries in Iran and other Middle Eastern countries, and notable figures like Pedram Khosravi, an Iranian poet, and Pedram ibn Yushij, a mathematician, have carried this name. Today, Pedram is still popular among Persian-speaking communities worldwide.
