My full name is Khamidov Mirza Firuz Bekhzod og’li

In Pieces: 

1. Khamid(Arabic)  - "praiseworthy”,  In Islamic tradition al-Hamid is one of the 99 names of Allah. The ‘ov’ ending is reminiscent of Soviet background of my family - all citizens of USSR had to put the same ending to their family names.
2. Firuz (Persian) - meaning "victorious", success
3. Mirza ~ Amirzadeh ~ (Persian, Arabic) -  "prince."
4. Bekhzod - "noble, high-born, honorable", derived from Persian به (beh) meaning "good, excellent" combined with زاد (zâd) meaning "child, son". ‘Og’li’ at the end means son of Bekhzad

All together I’m praiseworthy and victorious prince of honorable and noble dad.
