Afshin (Шаблон:Lang-fa / Afšīn) is a common Persian given name, which is a modern Persian word derived from Avestan. Afshin was used by the Sogdians.[2] Historically, it was the princely title of the rulers of Osrushana before the Muslim conquest. The Afshins of Osrushana were a Persian principality in Central Asia.
Etymology
Afšīn is form of the Middle Persian Pišīn, which traces back to the Avestan Pisinah. In pre-Islamic Iranian tradition, it is the name of a grandson of Kayānid king Kavād (Yt. 13.132, 19.71) found as a proper name attested by Armenian historians in the form Ōšin (from Awšin).[3]
