Piloo derives from the austere Feeruz Shah, literally the Azure King. You may recognize a colloquia Firuza in Moslem name, and the color firozi, blue. You may be familiar with a common Parsi name Firoz. All are fruits of the same seed. Rutam, patterned after the legeday hero, became in Mumbai, Rusi. Sohrab became Soli, Faramar'z became Fali, Dorab, to rhyme with Sohrab, became Dara or Dolu or Dadi, An interesting pollution is Dadabhoy Naorojji, which originally was Dara Nao-Rooz, the Warrior of the New Day. My Homi comes from Hormuz, which the Greeks made into Orm'az. It makes me God, and also the Keeper of the First Day of every month, Hormazd Roz. Kaikobad is really 2 words, Kai being a comon prefix, you must have heard of Kai Khushruh, Kai Kaus. It means "The one who will show you your Teacher" which to me is someone inside you.
