Mehrdad (Persian: مهرداد; [mɛhrdɑːd]) is a common Persian male given name in Iran and Azerbaijan.
Mehrdad is also a historical Persian name that derives from Middle Persian Mithridates, a theophoric name meaning "Given by Mehr." 'Mehr' in turn derives from Avestan Mithra, the Zoroastrian divinity and hypostasis of covenant. In present-day Iran, the name Mehrdad is also retroactively applied to several historic figures that appear in western literature as Mithridates, a hellenized or philhellenic form of the Old Iranian name.
Modern Persian form of Mithridates: gift of Mithra, god of light and friendship. Gift of the Sun.
