Sohrab or Suhrab (Persian: سهراب‎) is one of Shahnama's characters. He was son of Rostam (Shahnama's greatest hero) and Tahmineh (daughter of the king of Samangan). He was born and grown up in Samangan (Samangan Province in today Afghanistan), whilst his father was in Iran. He became a great local hero and decided to go to Iran and make his father the king of Iran. Afrasiab, the Turanian king took the opportunity and supplied him with a great army. Finally Sohrab was killed by his father Rostam, while both were ignorant of the identity of one another. In Shahname it has been told that when sohrab was just 10-month old he looked like a 10-year old child.
