Extended data:

Persians are considered to be descendants of Aryans who migrated from Central Asia to Iran around 2000 BC. Aryans split into two main ethnic groups, namely Persians and Medes, and branches of Persians and Iranians began to appear. They intermarry with Iranian plateau aborigines, such as Elam. There are some records about Persians in the 9th century BC. In Assyrian literature, they are called "Pasu" and live on the southeast bank of Hermia Lake.

In the 6th century BC, the ancient Persians became the rulers of the Achemani dynasty. They integrated all ethnic groups in the Iranian plateau and established the Persian Empire. For centuries, the Persian Empire was ruled by many dynasties, some of which were ruled by Iranian-speaking peoples, such as Achemenid, Rest, Sassanian, Tahir, Safar, Baiyi, Saman and Safavi. Some dynasties were not ruled by Iranian-speaking peoples, such as Macedonian Empire, Seruku Empire, Umayyad Dynasty, Abbasi Dynasty, Garseni Dynasty, Gul Dynasty, Seljuk Dynasty, Timur Dynasty, Aries Dynasty, Black Sheep Dynasty, Afshar Dynasty, Zande Dynasty and Jakai Dynasty.

The Achemani dynasty and Sassanian dynasty were established in Riyou, southern Iran, and the rest dynasty was established in northern Iran. According to some cuneiform characters found in Iran during the Achaemenid dynasty, it is proved that the local term Persia was used to refer to Iran when the dynasty was established.
