Usage

Let's take a look at what an example test case would look like using persian-names.

Generate Persian Full Names in Farsi:

from persian_names import fullname_fa

fullname_fa('male')   # or fullname_fa('m')
fullname_fa('female') # or fullname_fa('f')
fullname_fa('random') # or fullname_fa('r')

from persian_names import fullname_fa

print(fullname_fa('m')) # اشکان محمدرضائیان
print(fullname_fa('f')) # مهسا امیری تهرانی
print(fullname_fa('r')) # بیتا خسروی راد

Generate Persian Full Names in English:

from persian_names import fullname_en

fullname_en('male')   # or fullname_en('m')
fullname_en('female') # or fullname_en('f')
fullname_en('random') # or fullname_en('r')

Example:

from persian_names import fullname_en

print(fullname_en('m')) # Arsalan Mohammadi
print(fullname_en('f')) # Sara Alipour
print(fullname_en('r')) # Danial Ferdosi Khorasani

Generate First Names and Last Names in Farsi:

from persian_names import *

firstname_fa('male')   # or firstname_fa('m')
firstname_fa('female') # or firstname_fa('f')

print(firstname_fa('m')) # آرمان
print(firstname_fa('f')) # ساحل
print(firstname_fa('r')) # علیرضا
print(lastname_fa())     # شیخ اسماعیلی
