Before the Islamic Revolution, some of the streets were named by the words beginning with "Mehr," such as Mehrbar, Mehrafrooz, Mehrpoo, Mehravar, Mehrjoo, and Mehrayin. The previous name of Lozi Square was Mehr Square, but during the war between Iraq and Iran, some were renamed after people killed in the war.
Other streets are named after famous poets, such as Hafez, Saadi Shirazi, Roodaki, Sa'eb Tabrizi, Bou'ali, Sanayi, Ferdosi, and Molavi.
