Forouzan in Persian poetic tradition — the foundational Persian adjective forūzān appears throughout classical Persian poetry as a foundational metaphor for spiritual illumination and divine beauty; central to Sufi mystical poetry of foundational poets including Hafez (1325-1390) and Rumi (1207-1273). Forouzan Nahavandi — modern Iranian-American figure. Forouzan Sebti — Iranian academic. Princess Forouzan — modern Persian royal heritage naming.
