Was Albania's capital, Tirana, named after Iran's capital, Teheran?

Tirana was founded in 1614 by Sulejman Pasha who is from the village of Mullet. The foundation of the city is considered to be a mosque, a bakery and a Turkish hamam built by Sulejman Pasha. Today, it is possible to see Sulejman Pasha Monument at the city center behind Opera between Skenderbej Square and Avni Rustemi Square.

There are many rumors about where the name Tirana comes from. The most common one says it comes from the name of Tehran, the capital of Iran. Sulejman Pasha was involved in the operation of Ottoman Army in Persia. The rumors say he saw Tehran, liked that city and named the new city he founded after Tehran. The fact that Tirana was founded in 1614 resulted in a well organised city. The city has a relatively good and modern city plan among the capitals in Europe.
