Why not black?

White is cool and all, but black is boss.

HA! You can't blame us though. Decades of riding the white-only Paykan must have left some marks in our personalities

Haha, yes it really is. I get the same reaction of disbelief every time haha! I love it; it's a great conversation starter lol

It definitely is a conversation starter! Did your father change it or it's older than that? I ask because when last names become common people usually picked arabic words. In your case it would have been Ghani or a similar word. There is a good chance that your last name was changed long after that era.

Actually, it dates back past my grandfather and even my grandfathers time. I've gotten curious about it too and have also looked into its origins. Afaik, apparently long ago, last names were picked according to your profession, where your family is from, etc. Im guessing my ancestry did well for themselves hence why they were called that name Lol
