A name that means "persian female poet (ganjavi quatrains)".

Mahsati Ganjavi (c. 1098-after 1185) — "great lady" — was the Persian female poet of Ganja (modern Azerbaijan), contemporary of Nizami Ganjavi. One of the earliest known female poets of Persian literature, she composed rubaiyat (quatrains) of extraordinary frankness about love, wine, and life — including poems addressed to artisans, butchers, and bakers rather than the courtly elite. Tradition holds she was a courtesan-poet at the court of Sultan Sanjar.

Among the few named female poets of medieval Persian.

Great lady. Persian female poet whose quatrains addressed butchers and bakers, not just princes.
