Sepideh
Sepideh (Persian: سپیده 
[sɛpiːdɛ] ) is a common female Iranian name that means "Dawn" or "The sunlights in the sky before sunrise". The word Sepideh symbolizes beauty and coming of a better time after a long hard situation in Persian literature as Sepideh eliminates darkness of night and indicates start of a new bright day.
The word "Sepid" also means "white" or "fair skinned" and is used in Persian Poetry so it is not unusual for parents to name their very fair skinned daughters "Sepideh".
