etymology
Tschehel Dochtaran means in Persian: forty girls . The origin of this name is unclear. The number forty is used as an exaggeration in Iranian culture. Some residents of the area believe that the building was a mosque or school for women and, like the Tschehel-Dochtaran minaret , was built in 1112.
