Dorood which originates from Middle Persian Drod, which also originates from the Avestan language, the word Dravat (Meaning: Health), is a polite and official form of hello in the Persian language, (also recognised as 'Parsi' or 'Farsi'), whilst Bedrood '(Pedrood)' is an equivanlent to see you next time or goodbye. In modern day Iran, however, Salām which is originally an Arabic word has become a more common greeting. 'Bedrood' or more correctly 'Pedrood' derives from the Middle Persian dialect of modern Persian, which combines the words Ped meaning "With" and Dorood meaning Health, which ultimately express Health Be With You.
Dorood (also Dorud) is a city in the Lorestan province in western Iran. "Do" means two and "rood" means river and the word dorood means the place where two rivers meet each other.
