From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zoroaster (Greek Ζωροάστρης, Zōroastrēs) or Zarathustra (Avestan: Zaraθuštra), also referred
to as Zartosht (Persian: زرتشت Zartošt; Pashto: غرغښت Kurdish: Zerduşt), was an Avestan
prophet and religious poet. The hymns attributed to him, the Gathas, are at the liturgical core of
Zoroastrianism.
The person
Name
Avestan Zarathustra
Avestan Zaraθuštra is generally accepted to derive from an Old Iranian *zarat-uštra-, which is in
turn “perhaps” [1] a zero-grade form of *zarant-uštra-. This is supported by reconstructions from
later Iranian languages – in particular from Middle Persian Zartosht, which is the form the name
has in the ninth to twelfth century Zoroastrian texts.
The interpretation of the -θ- in Avestan zaraθuštra was for a time itself subject to heated debate
because the -θ- is an irregular development: As a rule, *zarat- (a first element that ends in a dental
consonant) should have Avestan zarat- or zaraϑ- as a development from it. Why this is not so for
zaraθuštra has not yet been determined. Notwithstanding the phonetic irregularity, that Avestan
zaraθuštra “with its -θ- was linguistically an actual form, [is] shown by later attestations reflecting
the same basis.” [1] All present-day Iranian language variants of his name derive from the Middle
Iranian variants of Zarθošt, which in turn all reflect Avestan’s fricative -θ-.
The second half of the name – i.e. -uštra- is universally accepted to mean ‘camel’. [1][a] The first
half of the name does not otherwise appear in Avestan, which makes it necessary to seek a
meaning in the etymology of the name. Subject then to whether Zaraθuštra derives from *zaratuštra-
or from *zarant-uštra-, several interpretations have been proposed: [b]
Following *zarat-uštra- are
• “moving camels” or “driving camels,” and related to Avestan zarš- “to drag.” [2]
• “desiring camels” or “longing for camels” and related to Vedic har- “to like” and perhaps
(though ambiguous) also to Avestan zara-. [3]
