[edit] Etymology

Wikipedia Wikipedia

From Middle Persian ērān, from the Old Iranian endonym ar- (as in Old Persian ariya-, Avestan 𐬀𐬌𐬭𐬌𐬌𐬀 (airiia-)), signifying "of the Iranians". Ērān came to refer to the lands in which Iranians lived during the late 3rd/early 4th century. Prior to that time it signified people/culture (i.e. the Iranian nation), rather than geography. The antonymic anērān (> Aniran), originally meaning "non-Iranian", underwent a parallel development. The designation of Ossetians of their language as ирон (iron) is a cognate.

[edit] Usage notes

The article (der) is often used with the name of the country, thus one says er ist im Iran (he is in Iran) and not er ist in Iran. However, one can say er ist in Irans Hauptstadt, which has the same meaning as er ist in der Hauptstadt des Iran[s] — he is in the capital of Iran. Similar examples: der: Irak, Sudan, Kongo; die: Türkei, Schweiz, Slowakei.
