Kazerooni

Kazerooni is a surname of Iranian origin. It is typically considered to be toponymic, derived from the city of Kazeroon (also spelled Kazeroon or Kazerun) in Fars Province. The Persian suffix -i denotes origin or association, so the name would originally signify someone from Kazeroon or a family connected with that place. Because Persian transliteration into Latin script varies, the surname appears in several spellings, with Kazerooni being one common rendition.

Geographic distribution of the name reflects its Iranian roots. It is found among Persian-speaking populations in Iran, and through migration it is carried by families into diaspora communities in North America, Europe, and the Middle East. In these communities, bearers of the name engage in a wide range of professions and contribute to local social and professional landscapes.

Linguistic and genealogical patterns for surnames like Kazerooni illustrate a broader toponymic tradition in Iranian naming practices, where geographic origin becomes a family identifier that travels with migration and remains a point of cultural connection for descendants. The surname thus serves as a trace of place and lineage within contemporary Iranian and global communities.
