KEYANI

[Guest]

Hello,

I just found your informative site. I am an archaeologist, researching
for a book, the meaning, origin and history of the name "KEYANI"
especially with regard to Pre-Islamic Persia.

I understand the the family name KEYANI is an Old Persian word meaning
royal or imperial. I also understand that it refers to a dynasty from
the Sassanid Period.

Currently, my main source of information is the Shahnameh of Ferdowsi.

I would be very grateful if you could point me to further useful
sources of infomation on this topic.

Sincerely,
