Hajji Firuz
Haji Firuz ((ペルシア語:حاجی فیروز / هاجی فیروز – Hāji Firuz)) or Khwaja Piruz ((ペルシア語:خواجه پیروز – Xwāje Piruz)),〔http://traditionscustoms.com/festivals/noruz〕 also spelled Hajji Firuz, is a fictional character in Iranian folklore who appears in the streets by the beginning of Nowruz. His face is covered in soot, and he is clad in bright red clothes and a felt hat. He dances through the streets while singing and playing a tambourine, and is the companion of Amu Nowruz ("Uncle Nowruz").
==Etymology==
The actual origin and meaning of the term ''Haji Firuz'' is obscure. However, it is comprehensibly a term used after the Arab conquest of Iran, as many Iranian words and titles were transformed by the Arabic language.
''Haji'', as written with the eighth letter of Perso-Arabic alphabet (حاجى), is identified as a form of addressing, and unrelated to the meaning of the word ''Hajji''; much like using ''sir'' to address a person in English, without the person being a knight. And as written with the second last letter of Perso-Arabic alphabet (هاجی), it derives from the word ''heja'' (هجاء), meaning "satire."〔John Richardsohn:Wilkens, Charles, ed. (1810). (). London: F. & C. Rivingson, p. 626 and p. 628〕 ''Firuz'' is the Arabized version of the Persian word ''piruz'', meaning "victor."
''Khwaje Piruz'' is the other version of the term, which consists of the word ''khwaje'', identified as an Iranian title meaning "master," and the non-Arabized ''piruz''.
