iráni

Irani is a term used in several languages to denote origin from Iran or relation to Iran. In Persian, the native form is ایرانی, transliterated as Irāni. In English the corresponding adjective and noun is Iranian; the form Irani, without diacritics, appears in transliterations and can also function as a surname. As such, Irani can refer to a person from Iran or to things associated with Iranian culture, language, or nationality.

Usage varies by language. Spanish uses iraní as both noun and adjective (el iraní, la iraní), while other languages employ forms such as iraniano/iraniana (Portuguese, Italian) or simply Iranian in English. In transliteration and onomastics, Irani may appear as a surname or as part of a place or organization name, reflecting links to Iran or Iranian heritage.

Beyond demonyms, Irani is notable in onomastics. It is found as a family name among people of Iranian origin and within diaspora communities, including some Indian Parsi families, where historical migration between Iran and the Indian subcontinent produced long-standing cultural and demographic ties.
