What was the original name of Iran/Persia?

Answer 1

Persia has long been used by the West to describe the nation of Iran, its people, and its ancient empires. It originates from the ancient Greek name for Iran's maritime province, called Fars in the modern Persian language, Pars in Middle Persian and Pārsa in Old Persian. The word means "above reproach". Persis is the Hellenized form of Pars, and through the Latinized word Persia, the other European nations came to use this word for the region.

This area was the core of the original Persian Empire.

Most foreigners called it Persia until March 21, 1935, when Reza Shah Pahlavi formally asked the international community to call the country Iran; which was often used by the Aryan tribes who formed the country in the Achaemenid era united the plateau in that region.

Farsi is the name of the language.
Elam is just one province in Persia.
Ki en gir was once known as Sumer, again part of ancient Persia.
