Sahebzade

Sahebzade is a small village located in the Central District of Mamasani County, within Fars Province, Iran. It falls under the administrative boundaries of the Bakesh-e Yek Rural District. The village sits at an elevation of approximately 1,300 meters above sea level and is positioned roughly 200 kilometers south of Tehran, the capital of Iran. According to the 2006 national census, Sahebzade had a population of 112 individuals, comprising 27 families. The population density is low, characteristic of many rural settlements in the region.

The name Sahebzade is derived from Persian, with “Saheb” meaning “master” or “owner” and the suffix “-zade” meaning “descendant of” or “son of.” Thus, the name can be interpreted as “descendant of a master” or “son of a lord.” This naming convention reflects a common tradition in Iranian toponyms, where villages were often named after prominent local families or individuals. The demographic composition of Sahebzade is predominantly ethnic Persians, with Persian being the main language spoken. The local economy is largely agrarian, centered on small-scale farming and livestock rearing, typical of the rural communities in the Fars Province.

Sahebzade experiences a semi-arid climate, with hot summers and cool winters. Seasonal rainfall supports cultivation of crops such as wheat, barley, and various fruits. Water resources are primarily drawn from local qanats and nearby springs. Despite its modest size, Sahebzade participates in regional cultural festivals that celebrate Persian New Year (Nowruz) and Novruz, reflecting the shared heritage of the Fars Province.
