Ali Reza twins two of the most honored names in Shia Islam, Ali the fourth caliph and Reza the eighth Imam, into a single compound that is often written as one word in Persian, Alireza. It is enormously common in Iran, regularly among the top male names for boys born in recent decades, and familiar wherever the Iranian diaspora has settled. Said ah-lee-reh-ZAH, it falls into four easy syllables with a quiet lift at the end. The name carries devotion without solemnity, and in everyday use it folds gracefully into the nickname Ali. Serious, warm, unmistakably Persian.
