Ghaffari

Ghaffari (Persian, Iranian, Islamic, Zoroastrian, Jewish. غفاری): is an Iranian family name.[1] While the name has no geographic origin, there are individuals in Kashan province who use the name ; however the name is found all over Iran, as families historically did not have last names until governmental policies instituted within the past century, hence the name can be found all over Iran, such as Mazandaran and Semnan.[2]
