Historically, surnames in Persian culture often reflect lineage, occupation, or geographical origin, and Eshaghian may have originally been used to signify descendants of someone named Eshagh or a family with ties to the biblical figure. Variations of the name can be found in different cultures, particularly in transliterations from Persian to other languages, which may result in slight differences in spelling, such as Eshaghian, Eshaghian, or even Eshaghi. While the name is not widely common outside of Persian-speaking communities, it carries a rich cultural heritage that reflects the historical significance of its roots.
