| Abstract | ||
| Based on the documents left from the Sassanid period, such as inscriptions, seals and Pahlavi texts, it is clear to us that the choice of compound names for cities was very common in this era. The evidence shows that the names of Sassanid Iranian cities, which were chosen in compound form, were composed of two or three words and even more. In this period of history and a lot earlier than in addition to the names of cities, Iranians followed this naming method in various social, political and even military matters. The interest in choosing compound names was such that the Sasanians used compound names even for their children. We observe that due to the importance of the tradition of urban planning in the Sassanid era and the issue of naming those cities, the Sassanid emperors used their own names to name newly founded cities. This issue in itself led to the discovery of new compound words in the Sasanian era, which investigating them opens another window for researchers to study Sasanian history. In this way, the chosen name was a combined name, one of which was the name of the king who built that city. It is because of this naming method that the compound names of many cities from the Sassanid era have remained today. Now, by examining the abbreviated signs of the compound names of the cities that remain in the Sassanid mosques, and also matching them with the Sasanian inscriptions, seals, and Pahlavi texts that contain the full form of these cities with compound names, we will obtain the abbreviated signs of these names and also We will identify their geographical location precisely. The research on this issue will also show that a compound name consisting of two, three or even four words was used for the purpose of political propaganda of kings in the form of an abbreviated name in introducing the names of cities. In this article, we will introduce the compound names, the reason for their occurrence, and the way to abbreviate them | ||
