Sarvenaz Tash: Hello. My name is Sarvenaz Tash. Sarvenaz is a Persian name, it means cypress tree. Growing up it wasn't always the easiest name to have, and it was met with a lot of blank teacher stares on the first day of school. Most people ended up calling me Sarv, but the real way to pronounce it and the way that will get you extra brownie points should we meet is Sarvenaz. Think Sar like in Sara. Ve rhymes with yeah, naz rhymes with cuz. In fact you can almost start out saying the name Sara when saying my name, Sarvenaz.
