Ameretat is Persian in Origin.
Ameretat comes from Avestan Amərətāt, built from a- "not" + the Indo-Iranian root mar-/mr- "to die," meaning "immortality, undying." Cognate with Vedic Sanskrit amṛtatā, it names one of the Amesha Spentas in Zoroastrianism - the hypostasis of Immortality - patron of plants, vitality, and the perpetuation of life. In liturgy she is frequently paired with Haurvatat (Khordad, "Wholeness"), the two assuring health and long life.
Attested in the Gathas and later Pahlavi works like the Bundahishn, Ameretat also titles a day and the fifth month of the Iranian calendar. Middle Persian forms include Amurdad/Amordad; New Persian shows Amordad and the common calendar spelling Mordad (a folk-shortening that obscures the original "not-death"). Modern given-name use is rare but meaningful among Zoroastrians and Iranophiles. Variants and spellings: Ameretat, Amərətāt, Amaretat, Amordad, Amurdad, Amardad, Mordad; related pair: Haurvatat/Khordad.
Ameretat is exceptionally rare. There are only 1 recorded use on record, spread over 1 country.
