Bakhtaran
Definition
The official name temporarily borne (specifically between 1987 and 1995) by the city and province of Kermanshah in western Iran. This structural name was assigned by authorities after the 1979 Islamic Revolution due to the rejection of the monarchical title 'shah', being later abandoned in favor of the original historical name.
