Setayesh
Meaning of Setayesh
Setayesh, a feminine given name of Persian provenance, originates from the native lexeme ستایش (setâyish), whose semantic field encompasses notions of “praise,” “adoration,” and “glorification” within classical and contemporary Persian discourse. Phonetically rendered in its source language as /sɛtɑːˈjɛʃ/, the name’s phonological configuration conveys a measured sonority characteristic of Iranian onomastic traditions. Empirical data drawn from the United States Social Security Administration reveal that Setayesh first entered the national registry with five recorded births in 2011 (ranked 942), subsequently exhibiting modest fluctuations—ranging between five and twelve annual occurrences—before reaching a peak of twenty-three instances in 2023 (rank 935) and then returning to eight occurrences in 2024 (rank 942). This trajectory, while indicative of its overall rarity, nonetheless suggests a gradual increase in cross-cultural adoption among parents who seek a name that bridges Persian heritage with broader Anglo-American naming sensibilities.
