Pardis

Pardis (Persian: پردیس) is a Persian noun meaning paradise or heaven, often used to denote an idyllic or garden-like place. In Iran, the term also serves as a proper name for geographic locations and institutions, reflecting the connotation of beauty and abundance.

One notable use is Pardis, a city in Tehran Province, which is the capital of Pardis County. The city lies northeast of Tehran and is part of the wider Tehran metropolitan area. The county and city have seen development-related growth as the capital region expands.

Beyond the city, Pardis appears in other Iranian place names and administrative divisions within Tehran Province, and has been adopted by various organizations and projects in the Tehran area to convey a sense of prosperity. In Persian-language media and literature, Pardis is used as a symbol for an idealized homeland or utopian space.
