This name was submitted by Nazi Minister of Economy Hjalmar Schacht to Shah Palavi.
Shah Palavi at the time called on international parties to begin changing the name for his dynasty from Persia to Iran. In full, the name Iran was then mentioned as Iran's Shahanshask State. However, the name change was not easy for international parties to accept.
