About tajik names
Soft consonants and long open vowels run through results like "Daryush", "Souzan", and "Zardusht", the last borrowed straight from the prophet Zoroaster's own name. They work for Central Asian settings, Silk Road caravan stories, or modern Dushanbe characters in literary fiction. Most results are single given names, so add a surname ending in zoda or ev if your story needs official paperwork.
How tajik names are built
A result is a single given name with no surname attached. Male draws come from a 212-entry bank and female draws from a 141-entry bank, so each output is one word, such as Pulat and Farid from the male bank or Sanavbar and Gulandom from the female bank. Region label: Tajikistan.

Naming notes
Each pattern draws one whole entry with no second slot, so results are standalone given names. The male bank is larger than the female one (212 against 141), so male names vary more before repeating. The bank was rebuilt from public bearer data via English Wikipedia category memberships and Wikidata, so entries are attested.
Questions about tajik names
- Why is a Tajik result a single word?

- How do the two banks differ in size?
- The male bank holds 212 entries against 141 female, so male names cycle through more variety before repeating.
- Are these real names?
- Yes. The bank was rebuilt from public bearer data via English Wikipedia category memberships and Wikidata, so each entry is an attested given name rather than a generated string.
