The case is named after the Persian phrase tamám shud, meaning "ended" or "finished," which was written on a scrap of paper found months later in the fob pocket of the man's trousers.
Nama ini sendiri berasal frasa Persi tamám shud, yang berarti "tamat" atau "selesai", kata ini tercetak di secarik kertas yang ditemukan beberapa bulan kemudian di saku celana pria tersebut.
