About dari names
Soft two and three syllable forms like "Delara" and "Gulrez" carry Persian poetry in miniature, with "Farhang" itself meaning culture. Attach an honorific such as Khan or Jan when a scene needs formality or affection. Try them on Silk Road caravan masters or the courtiers of a Persian-flavored fantasy throne room.
How dari names are built
A Dari result is a single given name with no surname: a male pull returns one entry from a 197-entry bank and a female pull returns one from a 270-entry bank. Outputs are one word, such as Noorzad and Farhang for men or Delara and Pari for women.
Noorzad
single entry from the 197-entry male bank
Delara
single entry from the 270-entry female bank
Pari
single entry from the 270-entry female bank

Naming notes
There is no surname slot, so every result is one word. The female bank (270) is larger than the male bank (197), so female forenames vary more before repeating. The set carries a Dari label for Afghanistan; pair a result with a patronymic from another set if a fuller form is wanted.
