"رستم" meaning in Persian

See رستم in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: [ɾus.ˈtam] [Classical-Persian], [rʊs.t̪ʰǽm] [Dari, formal], [rʊs.t̪ʰǽm] [Dari, formal], [rʊs.t̪ʰǽm] [Kabuli], [rus.t̪ʰǽm] (note: Hazaragi), [ɹos.t̪ʰǽm] [Iran, formal], [ɾus.t̪ʰǽm] [Tajik, formal] Forms: rostam [romanization]
Etymology: From Middle Persian lwtsthm (/⁠rōdstahm⁠/), from Middle Persian lwd (/⁠rōd⁠/, “river”, whence modern رود (rud)) and stʾhmb (/⁠stahm⁠/, “force, power”, whence ستم (setam, “injustice, tyranny”)), i.e. “strong as a river”. Akin to Old Armenian Առոստոմ (Aṙostom), Ռոստոմ (Ṙostom), Ռաստոմ (Ṙastom), from Middle Iranian. Firdawsī’s great epic, the Shāhnāma, gives the name a folk etymology from رستم (rastam, “I escaped”), because the hero was born by Caesarean section.
