On March 31, 1925, the National Assembly of Iran (Majlesse Showraye Melli) approved the modern Iranian calendar. Under this new law, the Iranian New Year was to begin on the first day of spring, and dates were to be based on the Solar Hijri calendar. Prior to this change in the law, the names of the months were mostly Arabic words. This law, however, revived and adopted the ancient Persian names, which are still in use today.
