Maz Jobrani On Mispronunciation Of His Names
When it comes to name-confusions, Jobrani certainly knows a lot through his own experiences. Talking to National Public Radio, he revealed that people often get confused and call him Mazz instead of his actual name Maz.
The difference is that Mazz is the short form of Persian named Mazdak whereas the actor's full name is Maziyar which is shortened to Maz. Moreover, his last name also tends to get mispronounced. Maz said people often call him Jabroni instead of his actual surname Jobrani.
The father is not the only one with this issue, his elder son Dhara was given a Persian name, but people often get confused and call him "Dara'.

Maz Jobrani's Family Tragedies
The comedian shifted to the United States from Iran at the mere age of six along with his family. Growing up in California, his parents wanted him to become someone like a doctor or a lawyer.
However, Jobrani followed his heart and pursued a career in comedy and acting. The first of multiple tragedies ensued upon Maz when his father passed away. The precise date is not known, but Maz revealed in an interview his dad departed before the comedian began his professional career.
The actor appreciates his father's efforts to help him become who he is today. However, the tragedy compounded for Jobrani when his younger brother Kashi Jobrani died on 22nd April 2014.
The actor broke the news through his Facebook page with heartfelt condolence, also revealing he left his then seven-year-old son Kamran Jobrani an orphan.
If you thought the worst was over for Maz, you are sadly mistaken. Maz's sister Mariam Jobrani lost her life too on 13th August 2017. Maz shared a photo of his sister expressing deep sympathy over his loss.
As per Maz's Instagram, Mariam was battling breast cancer for as long as seven years, and she was 47 when she tragically passed away.
Meanwhile, the only shining light in his life (besides his wife and kids) is his mother who is still alive and very close to him. She is proud of her son's accomplishments and she is likely one of the reasons he still carries the strength to succeed in his professional career.
