Yaghoot
Yāghoot , also Yāghout or Yāghūt ( Persian یاقوت) is a female given name from Persian . Translated, the name means ' ruby '.
In Persian literature, the lip is often compared to a ruby because of its beautiful red color and the preciousness of the mineral. For example with Hafis :
« ای سایه سنبلت سمـن پرورده
یاقوت لـبـت در عدن پرورده
همچون لب خود مدام جان میپرور
زاهن رح که روحیرد به روحیدن به وت ب »
