From an HR perpective- I would block any and all thoughts of nationalities and race. In today's day and age- you just don't go there.
From a personal perspective- I would say middle eastern. But really- what difference does it make? If the person's qualifications on the aforementioned resume' are par with the job expectation- that should be all that matters. Word to the wise- be very careful if you are indeed in the process of hiring and you are looking at the name in this light....

Ali- I would first think is this a male or female. Simply because you have Ali (short for something, Alison for example).
Payam- I would first think I like that name, wonder if I am pronouncing it correctly in my head, then wonder if their mother just attempted to be creative when spelling "Pam".

Ali always makes me think of "A Thousand and One Arabian Nights". Payam is a name unknow to me, therefore no reaction.
