Meaning & origin
Setayesh entered the U.S. naming scene in 2011, a relatively recent arrival drawing from Persian roots. It peaked in popularity in 2023, and has since seen a slight decline, with a rank of 8,362 in 2025. The name is uncommon, with about 1 in 133,939 baby girls receiving it. Its trajectory has been falling since 2022, suggesting a short-lived but noticeable wave of interest. The name's graceful meaning and cultural resonance may continue to attract families seeking a distinctive Persian-inspired choice.
Setayesh comes directly from Persian (ستایش), meaning 'praise' or 'admiration'. It is a relatively modern given name in Iran, though the word has long been used in Persian poetry and literature. The name has seen limited but growing use in English-speaking countries since the 2010s.
