It is called Jamshedi Navroz after Jamshed, a pre-Zoroastrian King of Iran , in whose reign the festival started. It is said, that King Jamshed introduced solar reckoning into the Persian calendar, and also determined the date when the Sun enters the constellation of Aries, as the beginning of the year.
