There are few researches on the naming in short and long story characters of contemporary writers and long Iranian folktales, but so far no similar research has been done on Iranian short folktales. The present descriptive-analytical study is an attempt to investigate the male naming in Iranian folktales with emphasis on folktales of Lorestan province. The legends of the two collections, which were collected by “Anjavi-Shirazi” and “Farahvashi” from different regions of the country and Lorestan province, respectively, were used in the study. Mohammad, Ahmad, Hassan, Ali, Abbas, Ibrahim and Jamshid were the most common male names. The high frequency of Mohammad, Ahmad, Ali and Abbas can be justified according to Islamic culture. The names of Jamshid and Ibrahim alone or in combination are not among the 50 most frequent names in Iran. In folktales, Jamshid is always called King Jamshid, beautifully described, associated with iron weapons, kills demons and dragons, and flies into the sky, suggesting a connection between persons named Jamshid in folktales and the mythical Jamshid. Thus, the high frequency of “Jamshid” in folktales is justified. The high frequency of “Ibrahim”, which is not an Iranian name, seems interesting. In the first centuries A.H., it was tried to consider Zarathustra and Ibrahim as one personality. Thus, the ancient Iranian prophet has two names. The new name gradually replaces the old name in folktales. The high number of Ibrahim in folktales is due to the efforts of Iranians of the first centuries of Islam to preserve the name of Zoroaster.

To promote a message and a mission, we need effective preaching appropriate methods, and to build a society we need to use effective training methods. Knowing conduct and procedures of prophets to guide individuals and communities and also delivering the message or divine mission is important; because they are under the divine guidance and all believers who are seeking the truth, can benefit from them very well and with confidence.
Among the prophets Ibrahim (PBUH) - known as the father of prophets and messengers of monotheism – has a prominent position in the field of human education and the promotion of divine mission. In this paper we try to explain his character and his Preaching and training Methods. As there are some different views about differences between education and Preaching, we need paying attention to a point which is important to the separation of methods. The point is this: education is mainly relates to the person or individual but preaching is relates to the society. Accordingly, the most prominent training Methods of Prophet Ibrahim (PBUH) are: wakening up consciences, raising questions, emphasis on worship and prayer, leading to the goodness, and to honor the family. Also the most prominent Preaching Methods of Prophet Ibrahim (PBUH) are: stipulating on monotheism and worship of God in all situations, rejecting heresy and polytheism, resistance and endurance, and good debate or controversy.
