Etymology
Mirza comes from Persian and Arabic parts that mean 'son of a ruler', from amir ('prince' or 'commander') and the Persian ending -zadeh ('born of'). So it became a title for respected people, and today mirza is used before a surname as a sign of respect in Persian, South Asian, and Central Asian cultures.
