Anahita is Persian in Origin.
Anahita is a feminine name of Avestan and Old Persian lineage, deriving from Aredvi Sura Anahita, the epithet Anahita meaning "immaculate, undefiled, pure." In Iranian religion she is the mighty divinity of flowing waters, fertility, healing, and wisdom, often linked to life-giving rivers and, in later tradition, the planet Venus. The form entered Middle Persian as Anahid and survives in New Persian as Anahita/Nahid.
Her cult flourished under the Achaemenids, especially Artaxerxes II, and spread into Armenia and Asia Minor, where Greeks rendered the name Anaitis and associated her with Aphrodite or Artemis. As a given name it persisted among Zoroastrians and Armenians and saw a modern revival in Iran and the diaspora. Variants include Anahid, Anahit, Nahid, Anaita, and Anaida; related classical forms include Anaitis. The name conveys a sense of purity, beneficence, and protective vitality.
