Yarona would mean "to sing or shout", and is Hebrew, which often has a similar feel to Persian names. Bacchus has a similar meaning (male name) and is related to the Greek god, who was known for unbridled pleasure seeking.

Along with Bacchus, there is DENNIS / DENISE, "adherent of Dionysus." Figuratively, they can mean "alcoholic." (Dionysus is the Greek version of Bacchus.)
