The meaning of a name

I had no idea until I tried googling my own site, that Arastan was a real name.  Or a real word I should say.  It means "to decorate or embellish" in Persian.  Haha, how appropriate, right?  And here I am thinking I'm so clever mixing the names of my boys together, Tristan and Aramis….Arastan.

Apparently, it is also a store in India, a big decorative emporium.  Maybe I will have to visit it someday!  It certainly makes me feel like my chosen photography name is more legitimate.  Besides, ever since I was little girl, I have been fascinated by India, so to find out that is where the store is, is beyond awesome!
