Historical name for a region roughly coterminous with modern Iran. The term was used for centuries, chiefly in the West, and originally described a region of southern Iran formerly known as Persis or Parsa. Parsa was the name of an Indo-European nomadic people who migrated into the area 1000 BC; the use of the name was gradually extended by the ancient Greeks and other Western peoples to apply to the whole Iranian plateau. The people of Iran have always called their country Iran, and in 1935 the government requested that the name Iran be used instead of Persia; The country of Iran until 1935 was officially called "Persia" in English. However, the local name of the country since the Sassanian period has been "Iran". Since 1935 both terms "Iran" and "Persia" have been used in English, though Iran predominates. The Persian Empire once included most of Western and Central Asia and North Africa; an empire in southern Asia created by Cyrus the Great in the 6th century BC and destroyed by Alexander the Great in the 4th century BC
