Original Note:
There is no evidence that the name change from Persia to Iran was influenced by Nazi. Iranians have referred to their country as Iran for millennia, while the West commonly used Persia. Reza Shah initiated the name change to align with the modern nation-state era. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_of_Iran
