About the name Reza
Reza is a boy name of Persian origin meaning "contentment". It is most commonly used in Muslim families and is especially popular in Iran.
Reza means contentment or divine satisfaction, and in Iran it is inseparable from Imam Reza, whose shrine in Mashhad is the country's largest pilgrimage site. It is very often used in compounds — Alireza, Mohammadreza, Hamidreza — which is worth knowing if you like the sound but want something less common on its own.
