182 Zoroastrianism Baby Names With Meanings

Zoroastrianism baby names have positive meanings, which makes them an excellent choice in baby names. If you need some help in coming up with a Zoroastrian name for your child, you’ve landed at the right place. Zoroastrian culture believes in a supreme being known as Ahura Mazda. He is the singular deity in the culture who represents benevolence and wisdom. Zoroastrianism follows the teachings of the Persian prophet Zoroaster, also known as Zarathushtra, meaning ‘shining light’ (1). Zoroastrian names reflect this faith’s knowledge and enduring beliefs. These names, rooted in the ancient religion, align with virtues and ideals such as truth, purity, and righteousness. The Zoroastrians view the birth of a child as beneficial to the community and the qualities associated with Zoroaster himself. Before you explore the unique names, let’s acquaint you a bit with the Zoroastrian naming tradition. The Zoroastrians do not have any formal baby naming ceremony. They believe that the newborn’s destiny is marked in the heavens on the sixth day after birth. They place a sheet of paper, pen, ink, red powder, and coconut near the mother’s bed. It’s on the same day; a name is selected for the baby. The Zoroastrian baby names can either be derived from the Avesta or inspired by the late heroes of Sahnama or from a relative whose qualities parents want their child to imbibe. Cultural practices surrounding Zoroastrian names also emphasize familial and communal ties. Elders often play a pivotal role in suggesting names that align with the child’s destiny and spiritual path. This intergenerational exchange fosters a sense of continuity and respect for the ancestors. Furthermore, Zoroastrian names also celebrate natural elements and celestial bodies, which are integral to the faith’s cosmology. In modern times, these names have evolved to encompass a wider range of options. While traditional names continue to hold sway, parents may also choose names that reflect their contemporary values. We have researched hard to bring a comprehensive list of Zoroastrian baby names to you. All you have to do is ensure that you select the exact spelling of the name, as even a slight variation can change the meaning of a name.
