Dariush (Persian: داریوش), also spelled Darioush, Daryoush, or Daryoosh, is a Persian-language masculine given name. It is composed of Dāraya- (lit. 'to hold') and vash- (lit. 'good'), meaning holding firm the good.[1]
Within the Achaemenid dynasty, three rulers of the Persian Empire held the name: Darius the Great (or Darius I), Darius II, and Darius III. It went on to enjoy considerable popularity as a given name among Persian noblemen in later periods. Historically, the name has been transliterated into Latin and later into English as "Darius" and is well-known to the Western world in this form.
