Etymology: Collocation of 'Persian' (as a demonym of Latinate Persia in the sense of Greek Persis, Old Persian Pārsa) and 'empire'. Translates Latin Imperium Persarum, as attested e.g. in the 1st century (e.g. Quintus Curtius Rufus "Life and exploits of Alexander the Great" 3.3.8).

Sometimes expanded to Medo-Persian Empirehttp://books.google.com/books?id=AOYqAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA33&dq=%22Medo-Persian+Empire%22&lr=&as_drrb_is=b&as_minm_is=0&as_miny_is=&as_maxm_is=0&as_maxy_is=1800&as_brr=0#v=onepage&q=%22Medo-Persian%20Empire%22&f=false (translating Imperium Persarum et Medorum, "empire of (ruled by) Persians and Medians"). The 'et Medorum' is not a reference to Median empire (625–550 B.C.E.), but rather to (1) the tribal affiliation and shared status of the Persians and Medians, (2) the mixed Persian-Median parentage of the founder of the dynasty, Cyrus I. The term 'Persian empire' has sometimes been extended to the later, "restored" empire ruled by the Sassanid dynastyhttp://books.google.com/books?id=YfoEAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA129&dq=%22Persian+Empire%22+Sassanian&lr=&as_drrb_is=b&as_minm_is=0&as_miny_is=&as_maxm_is=0&as_maxy_is=1850&as_brr=0#v=onepage&q=%22Persian%20Empire%22%20Sassanian&f=falsehttp://books.google.com/books?id=PNYLJakw1SQC&pg=PA28&dq=%22Persian+Empire%22+Sassanian&lr=&as_drrb_is=b&as_minm_is=0&as_miny_is=1980&as_maxm_is=0&as_maxy_is=&as_brr=0#v=onepage&q=%22Persian%20Empire%22%20Sassanian&f=falsehttp://books.google.com/books?id=MziRd4ddZz4C&pg=PA100&dq=%22Persian+Empire%22+Sassanian&lr=&as_drrb_is=b&as_minm_is=0&as_miny_is=1980&as_maxm_is=0&as_maxy_is=&as_brr=0#v=onepage&q=%22Persian%20Empire%22%20Sassanian&f=false, the ruling dynasty of which was also from Persia in the sense of Greek Persis, Old Persian Pārsa.

The 'et Medorum' is not a reference to Median empire (625–550 B.C.E.), but rather to (1) the tribal affiliation and shared status of the Persians and Medians, (2) the mixed Persian-Median parentage of the founder of the dynasty, Cyrus I.\nThe term 'Persian empire' has sometimes been extended to the later, \"restored\" empire ruled by the Sassanid dynastyhttp://books.google.com/books?id=YfoEAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA129&dq=%22Persian+Empire%22+Sassanian&lr=&as_drrb_is=b&as_minm_is=0&as_miny_is=&as_maxm_is=0&as_maxy_is=1850&as_brr=0#v=onepage&q=%22Persian%20Empire%22%20Sassanian&f=falsehttp://books.google.com/books?id=PNYLJakw1SQC&pg=PA28&dq=%22Persian+Empire%22+Sassanian&lr=&as_drrb_is=b&as_minm_is=0&as_miny_is=1980&as_maxm_is=0&as_maxy_is=&as_brr=0#v=onepage&q=%22Persian%20Empire%22%20Sassanian&f=falsehttp://books.google.com/books?id=MziRd4ddZz4C&pg=PA100&dq=%22Persian+Empire%22+Sassanian&lr=&as_drrb_is=b&as_minm_is=0&as_miny_is=1980&as_maxm_is=0&as_maxy_is=&as_brr=0#v=onepage&q=%22Persian%20Empire%22%20Sassanian&f=false, the ruling dynasty of which was also from Persia in the sense of Greek Persis, Old Persian Pārsa.
