Names Origins

My parents wanted to name me after my great grand father Javad but also wanted to call me Kaveh. Finally, I ended up having two names: my official name is Javad and my nick name is Kaveh. As for my last name, well that I got just for being born :).

Kaveh

According to Persian mythology Kaveh was a blacksmith and led a rebellion to overthrow Zah-hak (a.k.a. Ajidhak, 'Dragon' in ancient Persian) who had reigned on Iranveyj for 1000 years. Kaveh put an end to a millennium of Zoroastrian Religion. Learn more about Kaveh
