Shahrokh, Shahrukh, or Shah Rukh (Persian: شاهرخ) is the name of a mythological bird in Iranian literature.
It is built of two parts: Shah meaning a king, and Rukh (or Rogh, or Rokh), another enormous mythological bird.
In the One Thousand and One Nights stories, Rukh helps Sinbad escape from a dangerous island.
Seemorgh is also known in mystics’ ideas as the king of birds or God.
Soleiman Haim in his Persian-English Dictionary has translated Shahrokh as "The Great Rook" and according to "A Comprehensive Persian-English Dictionary"[1] Shahrokh means "The horn of a rhinoceros; the rooks in chess; a title given to the sons of the nobility; name of a son of Timure."
