Zoroastrianism’s boy names hail from one of the oldest living religions that is believed to date back approximately three and a half thousand years. Zoroastrianism is thought to have originated from an Indo-Iranian religion that was followed by nomadic tribes of the regions of Iran and the Northern parts of the Indian Subcontinent. Therefore similarities may be seen between Zoroastrianism, and the Vedic religion followed in ancient India and Hinduism. However, the names may also have diverse influences, such as that of Arabic and English, due to invasions and migrations throughout the centuries. The beliefs of the followers of Zoroastrianism still live on today in a few people who follow this religion. They have a strong belief in right and wrong and a supreme almighty creator. They tend to opt for names that are associated with elements from their lives, such as nature, social relations, religion, and history. Some potential names that parents can bestow on their children include Aoshnar, meaning ‘A man of intellect.’ A variant of this name is Aoshanara. Another name includes Dadbandad meaning ‘One who always conforms to the rules and regulations.’ Persian and Arabic languages, as mentioned above, have also provided some noteworthy names. Some names that have become popular in this religion but have a strong Arabic influence include names such as Anaar, which means ‘Light and Radiance,’ ‘Glow,’ ‘Bright’ or ‘A variant of this name is Anar’ in Arabic and can be translated to mean ‘pomegranate,’ in Persian. Another name is Andya, a Persian title meaning ‘Little angel,’ ‘Pure girl,’ or ‘A variant name of Andia.’ There are a plethora of names you can choose from.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the significance of the name "Zarathustra" in Zoroastrianism?

Zarathustra, also called Zoroaster, was a Persian priest who became a prophet and started a new religion called Zoroastrianism.

2. What rituals or ceremonies are associated with naming a Zoroastrianism baby boy?

Zoroastrians do not have a formal naming ceremony. Instead, they usually select names from ancient texts like the Avesta or famous figures in Persian history. They may also choose names of family members who possess qualities they wish the child to embody (1).

3. Is Parsi and Zoroastrian same?

Many people use the words "Parsi" and "Zoroastrian" interchangeably, but there is a difference. All Parsis are Zoroastrians, but not all Zoroastrians are Parsis. Some Zoroastrians are known as Irani Zoroastrians or Iranis (2). Hence, a slight difference can be noted in both the names.
