Greetings,

I'm looking for the Persian equivalent of the name Paul.

My Persian New Testament uses پولُس, but do you agree? Is there a better alternative?

Please also specify the exact pronunciation.

Best wishes, and many thanks,

Simon

بولوس/شائول/سولس/پال


Explanation:
Other options:

Of course شائول is used for Saul!

پولس - که در انجیل گاهی «سولس» هم نامیده شده - در شهر طرسوس در کیلیکا، در حدود سال دهم میلادی، در خانواده‌ای فریسی زاده شد. وی پس از کارمندی روم نام یونانی پولس(که به معنی کوچک است) را به جای نام عبری شائول برگزید. پولس، زبان یونانی و رومی را آموخت و با نوشته‌های شناخته شده ادبیات باستانی یونان آشنا شد؛ وی حرفه چادردوزی را آموخته بود و چندین سفر نیز به اورشلیم داشت.

http://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/پولس


شائول (Saul) كه به او پُولُس (paul) و قديس پال (Saint Paul) هم گفته مى شود, يك يهودى اهل شهر ترسوس (Tarsus) بود كه پس از حادثه راه دمشق, به دين مسيحيت گرويد و رسول و پيامبر اين دين نزد بى دينان شد. او نويسنده چندين رساله در عهد جديد كتاب مقدس است. (به نقل از فرهنگ انگليسى وبستر)
