Ancient name for Iran?

Empire of Persia or The Persians. The original person why replied to this said "Empire of Persia or The Persians", however this is incorrect. Persia is a Greek word, and the indigenous and domestic name of what we know as Persia has always been Iran. It was only until 1935 that Iran was known as Persia, in 1935 Reza Shah, a stern nationalist, changed Persia's name back to Iran as it always was. However, Iranians at the time, like always, were calling their nation Iran. Hard concept to grasp? Think Japan-Nippon, Croatia-Hrvatska, Germany-Deustchland ;)
