Sasanian kings style themselves rulers of Ērān, the Iranians
Sasanian royal inscriptions of the 3rd century CE name their kings as king of kings of the Ērān, the Iranians: at Naqsh-e Rajab in Fars, Shapur I is 'the king of kings in Iran and abroad' in Livius.org's translation. Encyclopaedia Iranica's entry, as cited by Wikipedia, dates the first attestation of the word to Ardashir I's relief at Naqsh-e Rostam and reads the later term Ērānšahr, 'realm of the Iranians', as the empire's own name for itself.
