Official and Legal Background In the middle of the solar year 1295, the first official decision in the form of a resolution consisting of 41 articles for establishing civil registration in Iran was approved by the Council of Ministers of that time, in which they officially introduced the personal name and family name without discussing their nature. However, with the implementation of the Civil Registration Law, the official recognition of the name, its generalization across all social classes, and the replacement of the family name for the personal name in conversations and correspondence, special attention is now paid by every class and position to its quality, quantity, pronunciation, meaning, and concept in the mind of the listener, whether it be a personal name, family name, commercial name, or the like. In this regard, Article 102 of the Civil Registration Regulations passed in 1940 applies (in cases where some words must be removed from personal names according to other laws and regulations, the specific birth page is prepared by removing the aforementioned word and is written on the white page of the identity document; for example, the word Mirza— Agha, Khan, Sheikh, Mulla, etc. For instance, titles and designations such as Ashraf-ol-Molouk, Fakhran-Doost, and Effat-ol-Molouk, which were previously used instead of a personal name, cannot currently be registered as a personal name in registry documents and granted official status and legal validity, given the Law of Abolishing Titles and Article 102 of the Civil Registration Regulations.
