Rostam Giv was born in 1888 in a city called Yazd in Iran. His mother's name was Kharman, and his father's name was Shahpour.
He went to Kay Khosravi school for his early education. He also learned the English language while living in Yazd.

Rostam Bagh: A Special Garden
Rostam Bagh is a very large garden located on Tehran Pars Street in Tehran. Arbab Rostam built this garden in 1957. It was made to provide homes for Zoroastrian families who needed a place to live.
This big garden covers about 25,000 square meters. It has many useful buildings inside. You can find homes, a meeting hall, and even two schools there. There is also a sports ground, a library, and a fire temple.
