I had lunch with Daler from PE yesterday and in the car on the way to the restaurant I asked him about names. Tajiks have some of the best names I know of: Oistamo, Dilafruz, Mehrafruz, Malohat, Dilovar, Khudoberdi, etc. Apparently Daler means "brave and skillful," Oistamo means "gentle moon," Dilafruz means "lights up the heart," Mehrafruz means something like, "polite heart." Malohat Daler didn't know, he thought it was Arabic. Didn't get to ask about Dilovar or Khudoberdi. Or Hakimbek or Nazarbek.
Names are fun.
