Falavarjan (Persian: فلاورجان, also Romanized as Falāvarjān, Falāvar Jān, Felāvarjān, Pol-e Vargān, Pol-e Varqān, and Pul-i-Vargān; also known as Mollāvarjān)[1] is a city in and the capital of Falavarjan County, Isfahan Province, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 37,740, in 9,097 families.[2]

The ancient name of this city was Barze which means the branch of a tree or cultivation. This name gradually changed to Varjan. During the Safavid period due to the construction of a bridge on the Zayandeh Rood (river), Varjan was renamed Polavarjan and thence to Falavarjan. The city is a part of Esfahan metropolitan area.
