High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Ahura Mazd? (also known as Ormuzd, Ormazd, Ohrmazd, Ahuramazda, Hormazd, or Aramazd) is the Avestan name for a divinity who was proclaimed by Zoroaster as God. The Zoroastrian faith is described by its adherents as Mazdayasna, the worship of Mazda. In the Avesta, "Ahura Mazda is the highest object of worship", the first and most frequently invoked divinity in the Yasna liturgy. In Zoroastrian cosmogony and tradition, all the lesser divinities are also creations of Mazda. (e.g., Bundahishn III). Ahura Mazda is "Auramazd?" in Old Persian, "Aramazd" in Parthian and Armenian, and "Armazi" in Georgian (cf. also Aramazd). Middle- and New Persian language usage varies, but "Hormizd", "Hormuzd", "Hourmazd", "Ohrmazd", "Ormazd/?rmazd", and "Ormuzd" are common transliterations. 'Mazda', or rather the Avestan stem-form Mazd?-, nominative Mazda, reflects Proto-Iranian *Mazd?h(female). It is generally taken to be the proper name of the deity, and like its Sanskrit cognate medh?, means "intelligence" or "wisdom".
