Espand

Espand is a toponym used for several settlements in Iran. The name appears in various transliterations, including Espand and Esband, and may be found in Persian-language sources with different spellings. In references, the specific Espand is usually identified by accompanying administrative qualifiers such as province, county, and district.

There are multiple villages named Espand across Iran, and they generally occupy rural localities within larger administrative areas. Because the same place name recurs in different places, disambiguation is common in geographic lists and official records to distinguish one Espand from another.

The etymology of Espand is not clearly documented in widely accessible sources. It is a Persian toponym, and like many village names in the region, its origins may relate to historical naming practices, local geography, or early settlement patterns. Specific origins can vary between separate Espand locations.

In practice, identifying a particular Espand requires providing the relevant provincial or county designations. For researchers or travelers seeking information about a specific Espand, consulting regional gazetteers, census data, or official administrative maps with full locality identifiers is advised.
